In accordance to The Athletic‘s Ken Rosenthal, the Mets might be interested in Boston Crimson Sox catcher Christian Vázquez.
In 107 at-bats as a result far for Boston, Vazquez is hitting .252/.286/.411 with a .697 OPS. On the defensive conclusion, Vázquez has done perfectly, with 8 caught thieving (out of 20) and a 40 percent caught stealing percentage, which ranks initial in the AL.

Wilson Ramos – although demonstrating signals of breaking out in current times – has experienced a considerably less than stellar first 50 %, to the tune of .229/.301/.337 and an OPS of .638. He’s also been confined to just five added base hits in 83 at-bats, and has struck out 19 situations hence significantly.
Defensively, Ramos has been good (just two passed balls and three caught stealing) but it’s evident that his mobility at the rear of the dish is not what it when was.
In addition to Ramos, the Mets have backup catchers Tomás Nido and René Rivera – nonetheless, each are at present on the injured record.
