J.T. Realmuto Says Phillies Return ‘Got Hairy’ With Bo Bichette Looming

After finalizing his three-year, $45M deal to stay in Philadelphia, Realmuto admitted the finish wasn’t smooth. Bob Nightengale reported he “wanted to return… all along” and believed it would happen, but said “it got hairy in the end," knowing he’d be gone if the Phillies signed Bo Bichette. Once Bichette landed elsewhere, the path cleared for Realmuto’s return.
