The Padres and Dodgers may have taken the lead on J.T. Realmuto trade talks

As many as six teams have been linked to Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto over the last month or so, but his most ardent suitors appear to be the Dodgers and Marlins, per recent reports from MLB Network's Jon Morosi and Fancred's Jon Heyman. Morosi adds that the Padres' interest is conditioned on the opportunity to negotiate a contract extension with the All-Star backstop. Realmuto, 27, finished off a five-year run with the Marlins in 2018.
