Mets cut catcher Tomás Nido, reinstate Omar Narváez from 60-day IL

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:27:20 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Needing to make a difficult decision at catcher, the New York Mets cut light-hitting Tomás Nido on Monday when they reinstated fellow backstop Omar Narváez from the 60-day injured list.Nido was designated for assignment in a move that keeps catcher Francisco Álvarez in the majors. The 21-year-old rookie flourished in May and ascended to first string, taking advantage of consistent playing time while Narváez and Nido were on the IL.Nido was activated May 25 but has made only two starts since, going 1 for 5 with two strikeouts. He was a Gold Glove finalist last season and is signed through 2024 after essentially taking over the starting job from a slumping James McCann last year by the time the Mets entered the playoffs.This season, however, Nido is batting a paltry .125 (7 for 56) without an extra-base hit.New York has seven days to trade or release him. The 29-year-old Nido could also be claimed by another team — or accept an outright assignment to the minors with th...
