Mets agree to deal with Catcher Omar Narvaez (reports).

NY Post: Mets add former All-Star catcher Omar Narvaez to free agency haul. Omar Narvaez, an All-Star catcher in 2021, agreed to a one-year, $8 million deal with the Mets that includes a $7 million player option for 2024..."

Tim Healey Newsday: Mets add Omar Narvaez to crowded catching position, source says. "His .206/.292/.305 slash line last season was better than McCann’s and about as good as Nido’s — except that Narvaez was better against righties, Nido against lefties."

Metstradamus: Collecting Catchers. I don’t know which saying is more apt here. Is it “you can’t have too much of a good thing?” Or is it “If you have nine catchers, you really have none?” The Mets signing of Omar Narvaez is probably somewhere in the middle.

Earlier in the day the Mets held a press conference to announce the Brandon Nimmo signing.


12/15/22 Roster Moves - Mets sign Jose Peraza to Minor League Contract, assigned to Syracuse. "Jose split time with the Yankees and Red Sox AAA teams last year going .236/.290/.354.  In 2021 he became a Mets fan favorite as he hit 6 HRs with 20 RBIs in 142 at-bats with a .204/.266/.380 slash line"

1982

Tom Seaver's trade back to New York from the Reds becomes complete when 'Tom Terrific' comes to contract terms with the Mets. Cincinnati obtains pitcher Charlie Puleo and two minor leaguers, Lloyd McClendon and Jason Felice, in exchange for the 'Franchise.'

2001

The Giants obtain their first Japanese player since 1964 when Masanori Murakami became the first ballplayer from Japan to appear in a major league game. San Francisco trades starting pitcher Shawn Estes (9-8, 4.02) to the Mets in exchange for outfielder Tsuyoshi Shinjo (.267, 10, 56) and infielder Desi Relaford (.302, 8, 36), who will be traded the Mariners for David Bell.

2002

After declining the $4.6 million two-year December 7 contract offer by the Yankees, which he had only 15 minutes to consider, Mike Stanton (7-1, 3.00, 6 saves) still decides to stay in the Big Apple by agreeing to a $9 million, three-year, no trade contract with the crosstown rival Mets. The Bronx Bombers didn't offer the All-Star reliever salary arbitration after he failed to respond to their ultimatum.

Baseball Reference:

2012: The Mets trade Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey to Toronto, provided the Jays can reach a contract extension with Dickey. They will do so on December 17th, the two sides agreeing to a two-year deal worth $25 million, that will make the deal official. Cs Josh Thole and Mike Nickeas accompany Dickey to Toronto, while Cs Travis d'Arnaud and John Buck and Ps Noah Syndergaard and Wuilmer Becerra head to the Big Apple.
