Catcher J.T. Realmuto agreed to a three-year, $45 million contract to re-sign with the Philadelphia Phillies, multiple media outlets reported on Friday.

The deal reportedly also includes an additional $15 million in incentives for Realmuto, who became a free agent this offseason.

Realmuto, who will turn 35 in March, made an MLB-high 132 appearances behind the plate last season. He batted .257 with 12 homers and 52 RBIs in 134 games overall in 2025.

A three-time All-Star and two-time Gold Glove winner, Realmuto is a career .270 hitter with 180 homers and 677 RBIs in 1,373 games with the Miami Marlins (2014-18) and Phillies.
