Mets Sign Gary Sanchez

[RealityChuck]

No surprise. With Alvarez playing the way he had, Sanchez was 4th on the depth chart with little chance of being called up.



Nido will be gone when Narvaez comes off the IL.

If the demand for catching is that high right now, we should seriously consider moving Narvaez for pitching help sooner rather than later.

[Edgy MD]

Well, there's some restraints on that. Firstly, they can't trade a guy in on the injured list. Secondly (unless I've missed a rule change, which is highly possible), they can't trade a guy in the first half season of a multi-year contract.



Thirdly, and more practically, there's the shining likelihood that you need your redundancies as soon as you deal them off. They've already had their first and second catchers get hurt.



He's here to be a mentor to Álvarez, and most evidence would suggest that he's better than Nido. I'm for keeping him around and getting to know him better.
