So with the Mets off to the best start in their history, and the now-injured pair of catchers not particularly integral to that burst out of the gate … no better time to maintain the course?
That’s not the message Sandy Alderson sent to his public Friday afternoon. To the contrary, this win-now team wants to ensure it keeps winning, now.
The best solution might prove to be old Nationals nemesis Wilson Ramos.
With Travis d’Arnaud (torn UCL in his right elbow) done for the season and Kevin Plawecki (fracture in his left hand) out for about a month, the Mets are open to anything and everything, Alderson strongly indicated before his team proceeded to win its ninth straight game, 6-5 over the Brewers at Citi Field, raising its record to an MLB-leading 11-1.
