It always felt inevitable that Realmuto was coming back to Philly. Now it's official. @CraigMish was first with the agreement.
Fantasy Impact
Realmuto was the top catcher in fantasy baseball even when we didn’t know where he’d end up so actually signing with a team doesn’t really change anything fantasy-wise. Last year Realmuto knocked .266/.349/.491 with 11 homers and 32 RBI.
