Earlier on Tuesday, J.T. Realmuto’s agent Jeff Berry appeared on the Swings and Mishes podcast with Craig Mish and stated the obvious: an offseason trade would be a “win-win” for both J.T. and the Marlins.

Just a few hours later, Mish reports some progress on the trade front:
Sources indicate Braves discussions with Marlins for Realmuto include a pkg built around 3B Austin Riley & P Michael Soroka.
