Part 3/8:
With Alvarez out, the Mets are left with limited options for catching. Luis Terrén is currently the most viable option available on the team's 40-man roster. While Terrén provides a capable defensive presence behind the plate, he is not an offensive powerhouse, meaning the Mets will have to serve with a diminished batting lineup during Alvarez’s absence. Beyond Terrén, the Mets’ catching depth includes players like Jackson Reitz, Chris Williams, and Hayden Sanger, who lack experience at the major league level. This leaves fans and analysts wondering if the team might look outside the organization for additional help as the season gets underway.
