What do you think about the Red Sox trading for J.T. Realmuto? They could include one of their current catchers in the trade.

I've received this question so many times this winter that I think I need to answer it in a prominent spot such as this. I don't think there's much of a chance it is going to happen. President of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski has said numerous times this offseason he's not trying to add any catchers, but rather trying to subtract one of the three he has.

Realmuto would be a big upgrade offensively for the Sox at the catching position, but who do they have to trade? The team is in the process of trying to restock the farm system. Subtracting top prospects probably isn't the best move at this time. The Sox also have little interest in trading young, cost-controllable players (think Andrew Benintendi and Rafael Devers) from the Major League roster. It's hard to see the Red Sox and Marlins matching up on this one.
