The Milwaukee Brewers could use a catcher, and they were linked to Miami Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto during the fire sale. Realmuto has two years of arbitration left before he becomes a free agent. Could the Marlins look to flip Realmuto before the 2019 season starts?
What’s Realmuto expected to earn in 2019?
Realmuto is in his second year of salary arbitration. He earned $2.9 million last year, and is expected to get a raise close to $6.1 million. He has one more year of arbitration beyond 2019, and then he hits free agency in 2020
