The Miami Marlins finally found a trade partner for J.T. Realmuto, reportedly dealing the All-Star catcher to the Philadelphia Phillies.
Per ESPN's Jeff Passan, the Marlins will receive catcher Jorge Alfaro, minor league pitchers Sixto Sanchez and Will Stewart and an international bonus slot from Philadelphia in exchange for Realmuto.
This comes after a long period of apparent unhappiness by Realmuto with the direction of Miami's roster.
Craig Mish of SiriusXM reported in December 2017 that Realmuto requested a trade from the Marlins. Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports noted the request was a response to the organization's decision to trade so many talented players away during the offseason prior to the 2018 campaign, minimizing its chances of competing for the playoffs in the immediate future.
