you know Joel Sherman?
Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports that a J.T. Realmuto trade to the Phillies is "down to physical reviews" and the agreement on a third piece.
The two big pieces in the return package for Miami would be top pitching prospect Sixto Sanchez and catcher Jorge Alfaro. Mickey Moniak, Alec Bohm, Adonis Medina, and Adam Haseley are among the other Phillies prospects being discussed. Sherman notes that nothing is finalized yet, but it does sound like there is a strong framework in place for this swap to get done -- possibly by the end of the day Thursday. Realmuto, 27, has also been connected recently to the Braves, Reds, Padres, and Dodgers.
