PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Catcher Travis d'Arnaud received his very own first-base glove on Wednesday at New York Mets camp.
"I got a couple," d'Arnaud revealed.
Still, do not expect to see d'Arnaud manning first base in a Grapefruit League game anytime soon. Infield coach Tim Teufel predicts that it would not be until late in spring training before manager Terry Collins might throw d'Arnaud at first base in an actual game.
With d'Arnaud and Kevin Plawecki both young and promising catchers, the Mets have no plans to move either off his primary position.
