The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the
deal had not been announced.
Realmuto can earn an additional $5 million annually in bonuses,
the person said.
A three-time All-Star and two-time Gold Glove winner, Realmuto
made his decision a month after designated hitter Kyle Schwarber
also chose to remain with the Phillies, agreeing to a $150
million, five-year deal.
Realmuto, who turns 35 in March, hit .257 with 12 homers and 52
RBIs in 134 games last year, when he tied for the major league
lead with 132 games at catcher. He was in the final season of a
$115.5 million, five-year contract.
Realmuto has a .270 career batting average with 180 homers and
677 RBIs in 12 seasons with the Miami Marlins (2014-18) and
Phillies.
Philadelphia also reached deals this offseason with right-hander
Brad Keller ($22 million for two years) and outfielder Adolis
García ($10 million for one year).
