The Mets announced today that they have agreed to terms on a minor league contract with catcher Mike Nickeas with an invite to Spring Training.
Nickeas elected free agency along with outfielder Fred Lewis earlier this week after being removed from the 40-man roster, however Nickeas will return to the Mets organization for 2013.
With one of the biggest holes on the Mets roster being the catching position, this certainly adds –or maintains– a level of depth at backstop, however let’s just hope this isn’t the only move Sandy Alderson and the Mets make at catcher.
