J.T. Realmuto is the top catcher available in free agency this offseason. This is in no small part due to his elite defense, which is rare behind the plate these days.
Maybe we just don’t value catching prospects in the same way that major league teams do. I would have thought someone like Harry Ford would have been worth much more than what the Mariners got for him, but Jose Ferrer is nothing to sneeze at either.
The Texas Rangers decided to non-tender catcher Jonah Heim. But it doesn’t seem like they’ll dive into the deep end of free agency to find his replacement.

The Philadelphia Phillies alternative catching options to re-signing J.T. Realmuto are not the greatest. There is not much depth at the catching position across MLB right now.
The Blue Jays’ catching depth isn’t quite as deep as it used to be after trading away Danny Jansen and Gabriel Moreno over the course of past few seasons.
Ben Cherington and the Pirates plan to increase their payroll by $30-40 million this offseason, which could position them as potential suitors for catcher J.T. Realmuto.
