Mets Interested In Robinson Chirinos
5 years agoThe New York Mets have shown interest in catcher Robinson Chirinos, according to an industry source. Chirinos will turn 36 next June and hit .238/.347/.443 while starting 106 games behind the plate for the Astros and playing strong defense in 2019. If the Mets keep Wilson Ramos, Chirinos could easily secure a better opportunity elsewhere on the open market. The Mets have also contacted 36-year-old Drew Butera, who began his career with the Mets as a fifth-round pick in 2005. Tomas Nido could be moving on from the Mets this offseason after hitting just .191/.231/.316 in 38 starts. Despite Chirinos' age, he can still be fantasy relevant with the bat in two-catcher leagues, but being the backup to Ramos wouldn't be good for his fantasy appeal.
