One of the bigger San Francisco Giants related surprises this offseason was revealed Thursday when Jon Heyman said they checked in on J.T. Realmuto.
This was certainly surprising news to see as J.T. Realmuto is a catcher. And, he’s a very good catcher. However, the Giants already have a catcher named Gerald “Buster” Posey.
In case you did not know, Buster Posey had hip surgery recently. A surgery that may prevent him from being ready on Opening Day. Since he is a catcher and on the wrong side of 30, questions will remain as to how much longer he can continue the grind behind the dish.
