Free agency has officially started, and the first step for all 30 major league teams is to determine which options should they exercise and which players they will opt not to re-sign for the 2021 season. The New York Mets have a couple of cases.
One of them is starting catcher Wilson Ramos. The New York Mets won’t be exercising his $10 million club option for the 2021 season according to New York Post’s Mike Puma, and that officially makes him eligible to sign with any team of his liking.
It also marks the start of the search for a starting catcher by the Mets, who are just a couple of steps away from having a new owner in Steve Cohen.
