After a 2017 season in which the Mets ranked 18th in catcher fWAR, it was thought by some that the team could use an upgrade at the position this offseason if it were serious about contending in 2018. The Mets reportedly contacted Jonathan Lucroy last month but otherwise have not been involved in the weak free agent market for catchers. And there’s really no need for them to be, as what they have now behind the plate is probably fine.
There’s no doubt that Travis d’Arnaud is a frustrating player.
