Update on J.T. Realmuto’s qualifying offer and Phillies pitching coach search
More than six weeks have passed since the Philadelphia Phillies last played a game, meaning their offseason is well underway. On Wednesday, two key updates were provided regarding the future of catcher J.T. Realmuto and the search for a new pitching coach.
Realmuto, who the Phillies recently issued a one-year, $18.9 qualifying offer, will not accept the 2021 deal and will now head into free agency, according to MLB Network’s Jon Heyman.
