The New York Mets made one of their bigger offseason splashes when they inked former All-Star James McCann as their starting catcher. The move represents a massive improvement over the terribly unbalanced efforts of Wilson Ramos.
McCann is expected to emerge as the best dual-threat catcher (competent in both offense and defense) in recent Mets history. He should make a noticeable and immediate impact on the team in 2021 and beyond.
