Preparing to become a father, Marlins’ J.T. Realmuto receives well-earned All-Star nod

J.T. Realmuto had an anxious moment Sunday morning in the Marlins’ clubhouse.

With his wife, Alexis, is expected to give birth to their first child within the next day or so, team travel director Manny Colon relayed an urgent message to Realmuto that manager Don Mattingly needed to see him in his office.

The baby hadn’t arrived yet.

Mattingly instead gave Realmuto the other piece of good news he was waiting for.
