N&N: Indians trade for catcher Kevin Plawecki

Here’s to a great week!

He’s not Yan Gomes, but is younger and cheaper. Plawecki was a pretty serious prospect too (40th on Fangraphs 2015 list). From Mandy Bell:

“We’re excited to add Kevin to our Major League catching mix,” Indians president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti said. “The guy has earned a reputation as a really good teammate, a good receiver, and leads a pitching staff really well.”

Plawecki, 27, has spent his entire professional career in the Mets’ organization and he has been on the club’s Major League roster for the past four seasons.
