According to Scott Lauber of the Philadelphia Inquirer, there is mutual interest between J.T. Realmuto and the Phillies in working out 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.
