Mets Season in Review: Travis d’Arnaud

Contract Status and Trade Rumors
Since he’s still new in the league, d’Arnaud has a few years to go before he hits free agency. That would be in 2020. However, despite his status, many — myself included — believe this year is d’Arnaud’s final chance to show what he can do.
His injuries have piled up, and if he’s not able to put in a full season of work in 2017, I think the Mets will look to part ways with him one way or another.
I personally wouldn’t be happy about it as I’ve been one of the bigger d’Arnaud fans out there, but if he’s unable to perform, the Mets need to look at the catching situation in a big way again.
During last year’s trade deadline, the Mets attempted to land Jonathan Lucroy from the Brewers. While that deal would ultimately fall apart, it showed that the organization is ready to move on from d’Arnaud should a better deal show up.
Since then, the Mets haven’t been linked to any other catcher on the free-agent market or via potential trades, so it’s obvious they’re willing to again give Travis a shot.
