Tomas Nido is the odd man out. The longtime Mets stalwart has been designated for assignment, the club announced Monday.
Omar Narvaez has been activated and will return Tuesday in Atlanta, joining Francisco Alvarez as the Mets’ catching tandem. The veteran Narvaez said Sunday he is “100 percent” after playing in six rehab games, bouncing back from a calf strain.
Honestly I was a huge Nido fan. But with the team struggling so much this year, Nido’s hitting being anemic and pitchers raving about how well Alvarez calls a game, Nido had to be the odd man out.
