Johnny Monell Comes Marching Home

[G-Fafif]

Multiple sources reporting 2015 backup-backup catcher Johnny Monell has signed anew with the organization, presumably for depth behind 2018 backup-backup catcher Jose Lobaton.

Johnny comes marching home always make me think of The Clash's
second album Give 'em Enough Rope.

On the list of Marginal Recent Vintage Met Backup Catchers I'd Like To See In Blue And Orange Again, he's in line behind Mike Nickeas, Josh Thole, and Anthony Recker.

Where's Rene Rivera these days?

Ah, the Angels. Maybe offer them Nimmo for Rivera and Ohtani.

There's probably nothing to it, but it seems like when they go for homeboys, the Mets get Bronx guys and the Yankees get Brooklyn guys.

Anyhow, maybe Monell can bring some of that 2015 vibe with him. Or not funk up the 2018 mojo at any rate.

Hence, the Mazzilli trade.

FWIW, all three-- and Ramon Castro!-- are currently unsigned.

Sometimes known as the leader of the homeless
Sometimes drunk and he's always phoneless
Sleepin' on the street in a cardboard box
He's better off drinkin' than smokin' the rocks
Johnny Monell, Johnny Monell

He lives in the street but he's no bum
A rockabilly star from the days of old
He used to have teeth all filled with gold
A platinum voice but only gold records
On the bass was boots on the drums was checkers
Luis Vuitton with the Gucci guitar
Johnny Monell
Who do you think you are
Johnny Monell, Johnny Monell

Donald Trump Donald Tramp living in the Men's Shelter
Wonder Bread bag shoes and singing Helter Skelter
He asks for a dollar you know what it's for
Bottle after bottle he'll always need
He's the new backstoppin' Ivanka mocker
Stuffin' her with the dildo in Plawecki's locker
He's no less important than you working class stiffs
Drinks a lot of liquor but he don't drink piss
Paid his dues playing the blues
He claims that he wrote the Blue Suede Shoes
Elvis shaved his head when he went into the army
That's right y'all his name is
Johnny
Johnny Monell, Johnny Monell

One two three
Kick it
Johnny Monell, Johnny Monell
