The Mets had a very productive day yesterday, finalizing a four-year deal with catcher James McCann and hiring a new general manager in Jared Porter. McCann spent the last two years with the White Sox after spending the first five years of his major league career with the Tigers. Here’s what people had to say about the signing:
- Greg Prince writes about the Mets’ Age of McCann, reflecting on Mets catchers of years past along the way.
- Joel Sherman wonders if the Mets’ signings of Trevor May and James McCann are indicative of not just a pair of good moves but an overall strategy for free agency, though he says he still thinks they’ll sign George Springer.
