Miami Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto is a rare bread. He’s one of the few backstops in baseball who can still do a little bit of everything. New York Mets fans saw firsthand how ineffective catchers can be these days. No matter who they seemed to put behind the plate in 2018, the results were the same: bad.
This offseason, there’s a lot of buzz around Realmuto. His agent has already said he won’t sign an extension with Miami. As a result, every team with a catcher vacancy is flooded with comments from fans on Twitter demanding they land him.
