8:04pm: It’s a $15MM guarantee, reports Jon Heyman of the New York Post (Twitter link). He’ll make $8MM next year and have to decide on a $7MM option for the 2024 campaign.
7:52pm: New York is in agreement with Narváez on a two-year contract that’ll allow him to opt out after the first season, reports Joel Sherman of the New York Post (on Twitter).
7:42pm: The Mets are close to a contract with free agent catcher Omar Narváez, reports Robert Murray of FanSided (Twitter link).
Narváez heads to Queens after three seasons in Milwaukee. The Brewers acquired the lefty-hitting backstop from the Mariners during the 2019-20 offseason. Narváez had developed a reputation as a bat-first catcher in the Pacific Northwest. He’d hit .278/.353/.460 during his lone season with Seattle. That’s excellent production for a catcher, but his pitch framing metrics were well below-average.
More to come.
