Last year, the New York Mets opened the season with what looked like a platoon situation behind the plate. Travis d’Arnaud and Kevin Plawecki would share catching duties for the 2018 season. A clear weakness in the lineup one year prior, the team did nothing to better it for the following campaign.
Well, the Mets solved their catching issue for 2019. They inked Wilson Ramos to a sweet deal. However, they appear to have shifted the underwhelming platoon from behind the plate out into center field.
It seems the Mets may go with somewhat of a platoon in center field with Juan Lagares and Keon Broxton sharing duties.
