Show Notes
Austin Barnes, a two-time World Series champion, was released by the New York Mets just before the 2026 season. Despite a promising spring training, the Mets had strong catching depth, leading to Barnes release. Over his career, mostly with the Dodgers, Barnes played 612 major league games, hitting .223 with 35 home runs and 162 RBIs. After being released by the Dodgers and Giants, Barnes release by the Mets may signal the end of his career, highlighting the challenge for veterans to stay in the league.
