I’ve probably watched too many romantic movies, but when the New York Mets brought Devin Mesoraco back this offseason, it seemed like an old love had rekindled. Mesoraco became the unofficial personal catcher of Jacob deGrom in 2018. The reunion seemed to fit with the idea that he could continue this role in 2019 behind backstop Wilson Ramos.
Unfortunately, Cupid’s arrow flew astray. The Mets cut Mesoraco this weekend and have reassigned him to minor league camp. This means he could open the year at Triple-A with the re-branded Syracuse Mets.
