The clock is ticking for Major League Baseball. The Miami Marlins are sitting and waiting for the right deal to be offered for catcher J.T. Realmuto. News and rumors continue to swirl like the winds in south Florida, but no deal has been completed, yet.
While the holidays have slowed the process, a deal must get done before the team can move forward in its plan for the 2019 season. What was once thought to be a non-factor in the blueprint of another year under new management, trading Realmuto, arguably the best catcher in the game today, has become a dark cloud over Marlins Park and the baseball community.
