Phillies retain franchise mainstay J.T. Realmuto
The 34-year-old Realmuto had another solid showing for the Phillies in 2025. He posted a respectable .257/.315/.384 batting line in his 550 plate appearances, hitting 12 homers and 26 doubles. Realmuto was excellent defensively, saving six runs behind the plate while throwing out 29.7% of would-be basestealers (league average in 2025 was 23.2%).
The Phillies continue to miss out on the best free agents on the market, like Bo Bichette who signed with the Mets, because of this problem.
