When the Marlins were shopping Miguel Cabrera at the Winter Meetings of 2007, fewer than five teams showed interest in one of the greatest hitters of his generation, a Hall of Fame-caliber talent.
The demand for J.T. Realmuto has been greater. Far greater.
Two more unidentified teams joined the Realmuto bidding frenzy on Wednesday as trade talks for the All-Star dragged on for a third day at the Winter Meetings. At least eight teams remain in the thick of trade discussions for Realmuto as the Marlins continue to weigh offers. At one point, there were more than a dozen.
