Loading ...In his MLB INSIDER column, Ken Davidoff wrote the Mets spoke to the Texas Rangers about catcher Gerald Laird. The catcher heavy Rangers are looking for MLB ready young pitching.
Davidoff goes on to say, the Mets were 12th in the NL in catching offense but second in defense.
Personally, I think the Mets should stay with Brian Schneider and Ramon Castro and be more concerned with pitching needs.

I’m not in love with Schneider/Castro, but there just aren’t that many teams that have great catchers.
Pitching has got to be Omar’s top priority this offseason. The offense could use an upgrade as well, but it would probably be easier to do that in the corner outfield spots than behind the plate.
I agree. I am not in love with the production, but if the pitching is improved and the rest of the lineup does its job, the Mets can live with two defensive catchers.
