Yadier Molina might not improve the Mets catching situation

MLB insider Jon Heyman tweeted yesterday that the Mets were among a handful of teams that contacted free-agent catcher Yadier Molina showing interest in signing him for the 2021 season.

The most important thing for the Mets to consider before pursuing Molina is whether free-agent catcher J.T. Realmuto remains unsigned. As long as signing Realmuto remains a possibility, the Mets should probably put all of their effort into filling the biggest positional hole on the roster with the best free agent catcher in years. Any efforts placed elsewhere would be misdirected.
