Mets Not Planning to Trade Veteran Catcher
Even though the New York Mets are among the big sellers right now, they are expected to keep veteran catcher Luis Torrens around.
The New York Mets, a leading seller in Major League Baseball, are nearing the 2026 trade deadline. Despite this, catcher Luis Torrens is expected to remain with the team, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Several teams are seeking catching talents, yet the Mets have no intention of relocating Torrens, widely regarded as one of the best defensive catchers in the game.
With the Mets' struggles this season, speculation about a potential trade for Torrens has arisen. However, Heyman's update suggests that such a move is not in the works. Torrens' defensive skills and solid batting numbers could have made him a valuable asset for any contender. However, the Mets appear content with keeping him on the roster as they aim to improve their performance next season.
Signed through the 2028 season, Torrens has shown his value with 20 RBI and a .216 batting average in 66 games this year. In the 2025 season, he contributed with five home runs, 29 RBI, and a .226 batting average in 92 games.
