"According to a report from Ken Rosenthal and Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic, the Red Sox are checking in on free agent catcher J.T. Realmuto. "The Red Sox are showing interest in J.T. Realmuto, according to people briefed on their discussions," noted The Athletic report. Now 34, Realmuto would add leadership to a team potentially in need of it should third baseman Alex Bregman leave in the offseason. Boston already has catchers Carlos Narváez and the recently re-signed Connor Wong. Realmuto hit .257 with 12 home runs and a .700 OPS in 2025, playing in 134 games for Philadelphia."
"Regardless of the Red Sox specific position on Realmuto, the ongoing offseason could be an important one for Boston. As former MLB GM Steve Phillips recently noted, the combination of trade-able depth and a stocked farm system means that the Red Sox are " in a great spot." Trivia: J.T. Realmuto's MLB career began in 2014 with the Marlins when an injury to what former Red Sox catcher cleared a spot in the lineup for the future All-Star? (Answer at the bottom). Hint: This catcher - partly known for his long last name - helped the Red Sox win a World Series in the previous season (2013)."
The Red Sox are checking in on free-agent catcher J.T. Realmuto as a potential offseason addition. Offseason priorities appear to center on adding more pitching and an infield bat, but catcher could be a splashy target. Realmuto, 34, posted a .257 average with 12 home runs and a .700 OPS in 2025 across 134 games for Philadelphia. Realmuto would bring veteran leadership and stability behind the plate while Boston already carries Carlos Narváez and re-signed Connor Wong. The club’s trade-able depth and a stocked farm system leave the team in a strong roster position.
