Atlanta has come to terms with 30-year-old catcher Travis d’Arnaud on a two-year, $16 million deal. The Braves now have $12 million allocated to the two catchers on the roster.
d’Arnaud will now be paired with one of the best pitch-framers (Tyler Flowers) in the league.
While d’Arnaud found himself as a cast-off from the Mets last season, after arriving as the centerpiece of a trade in which the Mets sent R.A. Dickey to the Blue Jays.
After years of injuries and unfulfilled promise, the Mets parted ways with the former “catcher of the future.
