The Indians Sunday afternoon made a deal with one of their old friends in former pitching coach Mickey Callaway and the New York Mets, acquiring catcher Kevin Plawecki.
The deal included the Indians sending right handed pitcher Walker Lockett and infielder Sam Haggerty back to the Mets.
The 27-year-old catcher is 6’2, 210 pounds, and hits and throws from the right side. Plawecki last season played in 79 games for the Mets, hitting .210 with seven homers and 30 runs batted in.
He has spent parts of the last four seasons on the Mets roster, including all but six weeks last season as he spent six weeks on the disabled List (April 13-May 27, broken left hand).
