The Philadelphia Phillies have agreed to a three-year, $45 million deal with catcher J.T. Realmuto, pending a physical, after missing out on free-agent infielder Bo Bichette. The contract includes incentives that could add $5 million per year, bringing the total value to $60 million. This move provides stability behind the plate for the Phillies' pitching staff entering the 2026 season.
Negotiations between the Philadelphia Phillies and free agent catcher J.T. Realmuto have reached a stalemate following an initial contract offer in December. An upcoming meeting with Toronto shortstop Bo Bichette, a trade target, could prompt the Phillies to pivot from Realmuto amid limited catcher options.
