Overview

  • Bleacher Report’s Kerry Miller floated a speculative trade for Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman as a potential replacement if the Phillies move on from J.T. Realmuto.
  • Rutschman remains arbitration-eligible through 2027 and could cost less than re-signing Realmuto, a scenario amplified by Baltimore’s long-term extension for Sam Basallo.
  • Recent coverage notes Rutschman’s down 2025 season with a 90 OPS+ over 90 games and his track record as a two-time All-Star and Silver Slugger.
  • The Sporting News framed a broader roster reset for Philadelphia, with expectations the club could part with Realmuto and other veterans after the playoff loss.
  • A fresh ClutchPoints column argues the Phillies should keep Realmuto on a three-year, $60 million deal, citing his elite defense and 2025 production, while stressing that no negotiations or decisions have been reported.
