According to Scott Lauber of the Philadelphia Inquirer, there is mutual interest between J.T. Realmuto and the Phillies on a contract extension.
Realmuto told Lauber recently, “Obviously I have interest in coming back to the Phillies,” Realmuto said recently. “I love being here. My wife loves it here, my family. Their friends are all in the organization. So, there’s certainly interest on our end. I would hope the Phillies have interest, as well.” While the two sides would have to agree to a price point, tacking on another couple of years to his contract would seem like a win for both parties. As things currently stand, the 33-year-old backstop is set to hit the free agent market after the 2025 season.
