New York Mets: Could Brodie Van Wagenen get anything back in a Tomas Nido trade?

It looks like the New York Mets may be moving on from Tomas Nido as the backup catcher this year. They’ve already re-signed veteran backstop Rene Rivera. With Ali Sanchez potentially ready to make the jump to the big leagues later on in 2020 or in 2021 even as a part-time player, there isn’t much of a future left in Flushing for Nido.

Nido was rushed to the big leagues in 2018 when Travis d’Arnaud and Kevin Plawecki each went down with early-season injuries. Although he had limited experience in 2017, he was far from prepared for regular action.
