In 2019, Wilson Ramos proved to be somewhat of a productive bat in his inaugural campaign with the New York Mets. The catcher — who first appeared in the majors in 2010 — finished with 14 home runs, 73 RBIs and a slash line of .288/.351/.416.
But Ramos had some behind-the-plate issues, particularly when Noah Syndergaard was pitching. The right-hander apparently preferred not to pitch to Ramos and sat down with general manager Brodie Van Wagenen to discuss the issue. Instead, Syndergaard wanted to pair up with either Tomas Nido or even René Rivera.
