Speaking with NBC Sports Philadelphia Phillies reporter Jim Salisbury over the weekend, Bryce Harper touched on a lot of different topics, including that of signing teammate JT Realmuto to a long term extension.
While acknowledging that any sort of deal cannot be worked on at the moment due to the league-wide suspension of team-related activities, Harper spoke on the importance of keeping Realmuto in Philadelphia.
“He’s the best catcher in baseball. He’s a great person. He’s a great family man. He’s a guy that we need in our clubhouse… I want him more than anything, so I mean it’s something we need to make happen as an organization.
