The New York Mets clearly need an upgrade at the catcher position. Only a handful of fans are ready to see a full year of Kevin Plawecki behind the plate or would gladly accept the return of Travis d’Arnaud.
Meanwhile, others are set on seeing them venture into the free agent or trade market to acquire some new blood. If they do, the Mets may need to settle for less than perfect.
There are few catchers who play the game well on both sides of the baseball. Mostly, catchers are strong on offense or defense.
