"He can't be any worse than what we've got," says a source who just learned about the trade.

Hitting .220. Which doesn't sound like much until you realize it's double what our current guys are doing.

Will wear 29, which never made it to Conlon's back. Or front.

I notice the Baseball Reference's similarity score lists Travis D'Arnaud as his #2.

GameDay is listing Mesoraco as an available player on the Mets bench, and as an available player on the Reds bench.

That's like saying the #2 similarity score to your car is a Yugo.

So what you're saying is, there have been some injury issues. (There have been.)

Re: Metsoraco

I mean, they got SOMETHING for a guy who was essentially valueless on the trade market (as desirable as he may have been as a somebody-else-is-paying-his-freight flyer)... that it was a guy who potentially fills a roster hole slightly less badly than the current hole-fillers makes it a double win, no?

Re: Metsoraco

Ken Rosenthal has his sauces, and they give our Devin a less than tangy scouting report:

Mesoraco's defensive skills are diminished; one scout says, "Good luck with him trying to catch Syndergaard, Matz and Wheeler." Still, worth a shot for both clubs. Both players were sunk costs.
