Mets finally trust Wilson Ramos with deGrom, Syndergaard

ATLANTA — Along with this team surge, the Mets have found the starting catcher they envisioned when the season began.

Wilson Ramos had been reduced to a job share of sorts with Tomas Nido heading into the All-Star break, but since then has gradually reclaimed playing time to the point a clear line resurfaced: Ramos is the starter and Nido the backup.

“Ramos has a huge impact on our offense and it’s undoubtedly so that he’s been catching great games since the All-Star break,” manager Mickey Callaway said Tuesday before the Mets opened a three-game series against the Braves at SunTrust Park.
