Rays Explored Realmuto as Catcher Upgrade Before Phillies Deal

The Rays weighed a big catcher upgrade this winter and were linked to J.T. Realmuto before he re-signed with the Phillies for three years and $45 million. With Nick Fortes and Hunter Feduccia atop Tampa Bay’s catching depth and a payroll around $80 million, Tampa Bay could have faced salary constraints that might have required moving a major piece (potentially Yandy Díaz) to fit Realmuto. Realmuto’s market moved quickly, and the Rays—who rarely pursue free agents—were seen favoring trades over big-ticket signings, with potential fit partners including Royals, Cardinals, or Pirates.

Free-agent catcher J.T. Realmuto and the Philadelphia Phillies reached a three-year, $45 million contract with a potential path to $60 million. Realmuto, 34, isn’t the star he once was but remains a strong defender and a key piece for Philadelphia’s pitching staff, making this a modest, value-focused re-signing for the Phillies heading into the next few seasons.
