Unless general manager Brian Cashman has experienced a complete reversal of a comment he made in the middle of last month, it’s not likely the Yankees and Marlins will negotiate a deal that sends catcher J.T. Realmuto to The Bronx.
According to a Fancred report on Thursday, the Yankees are one of several teams talking to the Marlins about Realmuto, who will be 28 in March and would like to be the latest high-profile player to escape South Beach.
Gary Denbo, the Marlins’ vice president of player development and scouting, is high on catcher Gary Sanchez and first baseman Greg Bird from his days working in the Yankees’ minor league system.
