When the New York Mets signed Wilson Ramos, it became clear they would need to make room for him behind the plate. The catching duo of Travis d’Arnaud and Kevin Plawecki would not return as a platoon for 2019. As recent Mets trade rumors have noted, it’s Plawecki who will get shopped harder this winter.
d’Arnaud has avoided arbitration, further adding some fuel these Mets trade rumors. I don’t foresee anyone making a trade for a catcher of d’Arnaud’s ability at $3.5 million with an expiring contract and zero games under his belt after Tommy John Surgery.
