When my friend Doug Rush, a fellow sportswriter up in New York heard there was the potential of a deal between the Miami Marlins, New York Mets and New York Yankees that would send catcher J.T. Realmuto to Citi Field and Noah Syndergaard to the Bronx, he said we wasn’t going to sleep.
The deal has not been done and no word if it will happen, but the attention Major League teams have shown in the All-Star catcher has everyone buzzing at the Baseball Winter Meetings in Las Vegas. While the Marlins have been willing to slow play their poker hand, it is evident some team will eventually come up with a deal to their liking.
