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.
