MIAMI — The Mets are off to the best 10-game start in franchise history, but they have not exorcised all their demons.
The catching position remains the shakiest of positions for the Mets; it has been that way for years, and with word Wednesday that Travis d’Arnaud has suffered a partial tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his throwing arm, you can plant a big red flag behind home plate.
Jonathan Lucroy did not sign until March 12 with the A’s, a veteran catcher many expected the Mets to sign.
