<p>A cornerstone of the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-phillies">Philadelphia Phillies’</a></strong> pitching staff may be nearing the final years of his career—and his catcher isn’t quite convinced. <strong>Zack Wheeler</strong>, one of <strong>MLB’s </strong>most reliable arms since 2020, indicated in a recent interview with <em>The Athletic</em>’s <em>Matt Gelb </em>that he plans to retire once his current contract ends after the 2027 season.</p>



<p>The revelation sparked reaction from longtime battery mate <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jt-realmuto">J.T. Realmuto</a></strong>, who has caught nearly every one of Wheeler’s starts since his arrival in Philadelphia. Realmuto didn’t mince words when responding to the idea of Wheeler walking away after two more seasons.</p>



<p><em>“I mean, he can say all he wants,”</em> Realmuto told <em>The Athletic</em>. <em>“I can’t imagine him dominating for two more years and hanging them up. <strong>He loves it. … I’m holding out hope that he keeps pitching</strong>.”</em> With those words, Realmuto made one thing clear—he’s not ready to accept Wheeler’s retirement timeline just yet.</p>



<h2>Realmuto and Cotham drive Wheeler’s game plan</h2>



<p>Wheeler, now <strong>6-2 with a 2.85 ERA in 2025</strong>, continues to perform like an ace, and Realmuto remains a key figure in his success. According to Gelb’s piece, Wheeler leans heavily on Realmuto and pitching coach <strong>Caleb Cotham</strong> for game planning. While some pitchers obsess over scouting reports and analytics, Wheeler defers that preparation almost entirely to the duo. <em><strong>“He cannot do it better than Realmuto and Cotham. Why try?”</strong></em> Gelb wrote, underscoring the trust that has developed over six seasons.</p>

<p>The results speak volumes. Wheeler has thrown 82 innings this season, recording 101 strikeouts and just 19 walks while maintaining a 0.902 WHIP. Since 2020, <strong>he’s amassed a 65-34 record with a 2.93 ERA and a 2.18 ERA in postseason play</strong>—elite numbers that have solidified his place among the league’s top arms.</p>

<h2>Retirement talk sparks doubt and hope within Phillies clubhouse</h2>



<p>Despite signing a three-year, $126 million extension this past offseason, Wheeler made it clear in Gelb’s report: <strong><em>“Doesn’t matter.”</em> </strong>When asked if continued success might change his mind, he replied firmly, <em>“No.”</em></p>

<p>Still, Realmuto isn’t giving up hope. With their chemistry on full display every five days and <strong>Wheeler’s passion for pitching evident</strong>, the catcher is betting that performance and love for the game could change his mind before 2027. </p>

<p>It was a moment that silenced the dugout and had <strong>Philadelphia Phillies </strong>fans holding their breath. Late in Wednesday night’s matchup, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jt-realmuto">J.T. Realmuto</a></strong>, the defensive anchor and heart of Philadelphia’s roster, took a foul ball in a painful spot and exited with visible discomfort. A hush fell over the stadium as trainers helped the All-Star catcher off the field. For a team with postseason aspirations, the image of Realmuto limping away triggered real concern.</p>



<p>No matter the time of year, losing a player of Realmuto’s caliber is disruptive. Known for his ability to control the game from behind the plate, any extended absence would leave a significant void. The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-phillies">Phillies</a> are flying high in the National League</strong>, but even brief instability at the catcher position can rattle a contender’s rhythm.</p>



<p>Fortunately for Philadelphia, the worst-case scenario has been ruled out. Less than 24 hours later, Realmuto shared an encouraging update that quickly eased fears and provided optimism about a quick return. His comments offered insight into the nature of the injury — and his resilient mindset.</p>



<h2>Realmuto’s injury update</h2>



<p>According to <em>The Philadelphia Inquirer’s</em> Lochlahn March, <strong>Realmuto</strong> downplayed the severity of the incident when speaking after the game. <em><strong>“It’s not gonna be a lengthy absence, I know that much,”</strong></em> he said, adding that while he had yet to resume swinging a bat, he was available <em>“in an emergency scenario”</em> for Thursday’s contest.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250605_BUS_412023_realmuto-phillies-1-1024x576_c7752ecd.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-412031" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/05151845/realmuto-phillies-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/05151845/realmuto-phillies-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/05151845/realmuto-phillies-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/05151845/realmuto-phillies-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/05151845/realmuto-phillies-1-740x416.jpg 740w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/05151845/realmuto-phillies-1-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/05151845/realmuto-phillies-1-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/05151845/realmuto-phillies-1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Jackson Chourio #11 of the Milwaukee Brewers is tagged out at home plate by J.T. Realmuto #10 of the Philadelphia Phillies in the second inning during a game at Citizens Bank Park on May 31, 2025 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

<p>Those words likely brought relief to manager Rob Thomson and the rest of the Phillies’ clubhouse. Despite not being at full capacity, Realmuto’s readiness to step in if needed underscores his importance to the team’s day-to-day operations. It also signals that the injury is minor enough not to warrant a stint on the injured list.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/mlb/phillies-manager-rob-thomson-provides-j-t-realmuto-injury-update-after-loss-to-blue-jays"></div>


<p>Though Philadelphia will still approach his recovery cautiously, the optimism surrounding his status suggests his return to the starting lineup is imminent. The plan is to monitor him closely over the next 24 hours before making a final decision on his availability moving forward.</p>



<h2>Defensive metrics still elite</h2>



<p>Even if his offensive numbers haven’t matched his previous All-Star campaigns, <strong>Realmuto</strong> continues to make an impact with his glove. According to <em>Baseball Savant</em>, he ranks in the <strong>100th percentile</strong> in pop time, clocking in at a blazing 1.86 seconds — a number that puts him ahead of virtually every other catcher in Major League Baseball.</p>



<p>That elite reaction time and arm strength are vital to a Phillies team that relies on controlling the run game and managing pitching staffs with precision. His leadership and presence behind the plate aren’t easily replicated, which is why even a single-game absence requires adjustments.</p>

<p>In the meantime, <strong>Rafael Marchan</strong> will handle catching duties, starting Thursday as the Phillies wrap up their road series in Toronto. While Marchan is serviceable, the team hopes Realmuto’s break will be nothing more than a one-day breather — just enough to ensure he returns fully healthy.</p>

<p>Now that <strong>DJ LeMahieu and George Springer</strong> have found a new home, there aren’t that many top-notch free agents remaining in <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb-t48464" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Major League Baseball.</strong></a> <strong>Trevor Bauer, Marcell Ozuna, and Jackie Bradley Jr</strong>are just some of the few names worthy of keeping tabs on right now.</p>
<p>But if we talk about the players that could make a huge difference right away, we should definitely mention <strong>JT Realmuto</strong>, considered by most as the best catcher in the world right now, and for very good reasons.</p>
<p>Realmuto isn’t just a defensive standout – perhaps the best on his position along with Yadier Molina – but he’s also an elite offensive player for his position, and that’s why he’s taking that much time <strong>to make up his mind about his future.</strong><span></span></p>

<h2>Atlanta Braves Join The Race To Sign All-Star Catcher JT Realmuto</h2>
<p>So, just when it seemed like the <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/philadelphia-phillies-t123877" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Philadelphia Phillies</a> </strong>were leading the race to re-sign him, now the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/atlanta-braves-t113961" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Atlanta Braves</strong></a> have also swooped in and look to make him a big offer to lure him out of the<em> City of Brotherly Love,</em> according to <strong>FanSided’s Robert Murray:</strong></p>
<p><strong><em>“(Atlanta) Braves circling on free-agent catcher J.T. Realmuto, according to league sources. Other teams on the west coast are expressing interest,”</em></strong> Murray tweeted.</p>

<p>JT Realmuto is reportedly looking to sign a deal north of<strong> $110 million through five years, </strong>which could make things tricky considering how many teams are wary of spending big bucks following the Covid-19 pandemic and the big losses they suffered throughout the shortened season.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>That’s why all those ‘West Coast’ teams aren’t likely to seriously pursue him, especially given they have other needs to address. The Braves and Phillies, though, believe that he’s worthy of that steep price, and<strong> I won’t be the one to disagree with that assessment.</strong></p>

Two teams closing in on JT Realmuto - Bolavip US

<p>The <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/new-york-mets-t110386" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Mets</a> </strong>are reportedly ready to make a huge splash in free agency, as new owner <strong>Steve Cohen</strong> vowed to take the team back to the top of <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb-t48464" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Major League Baseball</a> </strong>and make another run at a <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb/mlb-all-time-world-series-champions-by-year-20200724-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>World Series.</strong></a></p>
<p>Needless to say, that will be easier said than done considering how many great and competitive teams we see in the league right now. Then again, most of them <strong>will be wary of spending too much due to the pandemic.</strong></p>
<p>That’s when Cohen must sweep in and make the most of the chance of landing a top-tier player at a discount. However, it seems like the newest team owner in MLB won’t settle for one, two, or even three stars, as he’s reportedly<strong> trying to sign four top-notch guys right now.</strong></p>

<h2>MLB Rumors: New York Mets To Pursue Bauer, Lindor, Springer, And Realmuto</h2>
<p>According to <strong>The Athletic and MLB.com,</strong> Cohen and the Mets are ready to make a run at <strong>Trevor Bauer, Francisco Lindor, George Springer, and JT Realmuto</strong>, which are pretty much four of the most sought-after players in the league right now.</p>
<p><span></span> </p>
<div class="ck-related-news">  <span data-src="/usa/contenidos/2020/05/04/noticia_0001.html" data-type="news"></span>  <p></p>
<div id="relatedNews-96">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>And, while their names weren’t brought up in the report, some believe that they could pursue a trade for <strong>Carlos Correa</strong> – who’s reportedly going to be moved – or lure AL batting champion<strong> DJ LeMahieu </strong>away from the <strong>New York Yankees.</strong></p>
<p>It goes without saying that, should the Mets <strong>land at least two of those four stars, </strong>they should instantly become a legit contender, especially considering that they already feature one of the strongest rotations in the world.</p>
<p><span></span> </p>

<div id="relatedNews-31">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>This is the perfect time for Steve Cohen to make a statement and prove that he’s for real, and God knows that Mets fans have been through enough already<strong>. It’s time to compete at the highest level again.</strong></p>

MLB Rumors: Mets to pursue these 4 stars in free agency

MLB Rumors: Mets to pursue these 4 stars in free agency - Bolavip US

<p>Even though this year’s free-agent class in <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb-t48464" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Major League Baseball</strong> </a>is headlined by T<strong>revor Bauer</strong> and other pitchers, it seems like the most important player that could be headed to a different team is<strong> JT Realmuto.</strong></p>
<p>Realmuto recently decided to decline the<strong> Philadelphia Phillies</strong>‘ qualifying offer as he’s bound to test free agency, and while he’s not going to sign anywhere at a cheap price, teams would be wise to make him a juicy offer.</p>
<p>Then again, which teams could actually offer him a chance to compete while also paying him top-dollar? Where could he thrive the most for the foreseable future? <strong>Let’s break down the top 3 best destinations for him.</strong></p>
<p></p>
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-5">    <span class="item first"></span>  <span class="item second"></span>  <span class="item third"></span> </div>
<p></p>
<h2>3. Philadelphia Phillies</h2>
<p>Well, even if he declined their qualifying offer, that doesn’t mean that he’s a lock to leave the team. The Philadelphia Phillies are going through a major playoff drought and they know they can’t afford to just lose him.</p>
<p><span></span> </p>
<div class="ck-related-news">  <span data-src="/usa/contenidos/2020/08/10/noticia_0002.html" data-type="news"></span>  <p></p>
<div id="relatedNews-28">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>The Phillies gave away <strong>Sixto Sánchez</strong> to get him out of the <strong>Marlins</strong>. Now, he holds all the leverage as they know they’re desperate to win a title and will pay whatever it takes to keep him in the <em>City of Brotherly Love,</em> especially after signing <strong>Bryce Harpe</strong>r to that massive deal.</p>
<h2>2. New York Mets</h2>
<p>Well, <strong>Steve Cohen </strong>has made it pretty clear that he intends to take the <strong>New York Mets</strong> back to the<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb/mlb-all-time-world-series-champions-by-year-20200724-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <strong>World Series</strong></a> in no time and that means that he’s going to be quite aggressive in the market to land top-tier players.</p>
<p><span></span> </p>
<div class="ck-related-news">  <span data-src="/usa/contenidos/2020/04/05/noticia_0001.html" data-type="news"></span>  <p></p>
<div id="relatedNews-4">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>Making a run at JT Realmuto will certainly make the kind of statement Cohen needs after buying the Mets, and he’s got enough money to spare in a market when most owners will be wary to sign big deals due to the<strong> Covid-19 pandemic.</strong></p>
<h2>1. New York Yankees</h2>
<p>And, obviously, the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/new-york-yankees-t110370" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>New York Yankees</strong></a> will always be a team to watch when a top-notch free agent is around, especially now that they’ve finally made <strong>Gary Sánchez</strong> availble in trade talks after years of erratic play.</p>
<p><span></span> </p>
<div class="ck-related-news">  <span data-src="/usa/contenidos/2020/07/29/noticia_0003.html" data-type="news"></span>  <p></p>
<div id="relatedNews-11">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>It’s clear that the Yankees could use an improvement behind the plate as well as another couple of arms for their starting rotation, and you know they won’t hesitate to spend big bucks to <strong>put an end to their World Series drought</strong> once and for all.</p>
