J.T. Realmuto.Realmuto rewarded the Marlins with 21 home runs

Rich Schultz/Getty ImagesLast winter Roy Halladay Jersey , the Miami Marlins hung out a "for sale" sign and traded luminaries such as Giancarlo Stanton and Christian Yelich. Yet they held on to catcher and an .825 OPS. Needless to say, he'll be among the hottest commodities on the trade market if the Marlins make him available.Speaking on MLB Network Radio, Realmuto's agent, Jeff Barry, indicated his client would not sign an extension with Miami."I think he will definitely be wearing a different uniform by the start of spring training," Barry said.If that's true, where might Realmuto land?Multiple teams could look for an upgrade behind the dish this winter http://www.bluejaysfanproshop.com/authentic-curtis-granderson-jersey , so expect the Marlins phone lines to light up if and when they dangle their All-Star backstop.Specifically, Joel Sherman of the New York Post noted, "multiple executives [mentioned] the [Houston] Astros as an expected strong player and to a slightly lesser extent the [Los Angeles] Dodgers."Mark Brown/Getty ImagesIt makes sense. The Astros got paltry production behind the plate in 2018 from the trio ofBrian McCann (.212 average), Max Stassi (.226 average) and Martin Maldonado (.231 average). The Dodgers, meanwhile, have little catching depth beyond Austin Barnes (.240 average) with Yasmani Grandal ticketed for free agency.Realmuto won't come cheap. The 27-year-old is under club control through 2020 and should cost any prospective buyer a top prospect plus ancillary pieces.For win-now teams such as Los Angeles and Houston, that's a price worth paying. After winning it all in 2017 Roberto Osuna Jersey , the 'Stros were eliminated by the Boston Red Sox in the 2018 American League Championship Series. The Dodgers made it to the World Series for the second consecutive season but haven't hoisted a Commissioner's Trophy since 1988.Catchers of Realmuto's caliber don't come along every year. And there are few teams with "for sale" signs as bright as Miami's.It behooves the Dodgers, Astros and others to be aggressive. The Royals seek to go back above .500, today."More Spring Training, more games where the points don’t matter. The Royals are allowing speedy switch hitter Billy Hamilton to lead things off while Brad Keller takes the mound for the first time, this year. Every Royal in the starting lineup seems likely to make the roster. One interesting note beyond the game is that the Royals seem to be indicating they’ll send Meibrys Viloria to the big leagues this year if Salvador Perez does, in fact, require season ending surgery on his throwing elbow. I’ve already said I don’t think that’s the best move for the team http://www.bluejaysfanproshop.com/authentic-curtis-granderson-jersey , but it’s definitely better than signing any of the available free agents just to fill the spot.Anyway, Keller will be trying to prove he should continue to remain a front runner for the Royals’ rotation. The Mariners will counter with Yusei Kikuchi. The left-handed hurler was signed out of the Nippon Professional Baseball Organization by the Mariners at the start of the year to a complicated contract which may last three, four, or seven years depending on several factors including a player option and a team option. So far he’s made one appearance this spring where he pitched two innings and struck out one while earning the win. Kikuchi was a star for the Saitama Seibu Lions for the past seven years and had a career ERA of 2.81 in the NPB. He figures to be in the conversation for opening day starter for the Seattle Mariners.Lineup
