J.T. Realmuto or not, there’s another backstop in Flushing.
According to James Wagner of the New York Times, who had it first, the New York Mets have inked former Philadelphia Phillies catcher Wilson Ramos to a two-year, $19 million pact with a $10 million club option for a third campaign.
Ramos is due $8.25M in 2019 & $9.25M in 2020. Plus $1.5M buyout for the 2021 team option of $10M, that’s $19M guaranteed, per source.
And apologies for any delay or lack of credit; I’m on a plane. @DaniAlvarez_16 had Ramos agreement first.
