The Mets’ busy offseason continued late on Wednesday, trading 2019 All-Star catcher James McCann to the Orioles. ESPN’s Jeff Passan was the first to report on the deal. New York is set to receive a player to be named later, and will pay $19 million of McCann’s remaining $24 million in the deal, Passan reports.
McCann, 32, struggled after signing a four-year, $40.6 million deal with the Mets ahead of the 2021 season. In two seasons with the team, he appeared in 182 games, hitting .220/.282/.328 with just 13 home runs and 64 RBIs.
