Show Notes
The New York Mets surprisingly released veteran catcher Austin Barnes, despite acquiring backup options. Barnes, known for his elite defense, was set to earn $1.5M plus incentives but didnt make the cut. Francisco Alvarez, in a prove-it year, and Luis Torrens secured the backup roles. Alvarez hit a home run on Opening Day, while Barnes performed well in limited action. The Mets are now relying heavily on Alvarezs health, with Hayden Singer and Kevin Parada as their next options.
