The Mets are in dire need of a long-term, everyday catcher that can hit, deal with the pressure of New York and handle the team's pitching staff. This is why, if Sandy Alderson intends to change the complexion of the team via trade this summer, I'd like for him to find a way to get Marlins C J.T. Realmuto.
Unfortunately, to make that happen, multiple team insiders say four things need to happen...
- The Marlins need to commit to trading him.
- There needs to be a continued lack of demand for his services.
