PITTSBURGH — The Mets will have a familiar face in the minor leagues to provide organizational catching depth.
Nido could have refused the outright to become a free agent, but that would have meant giving up the remainder of the two-year contract worth $3.7 million he received from the Mets last offseason. Nido didn’t have minor league options remaining, but as a player with less than five years major league experience was eligible for outright and is off the 40-man roster.
Tomas Nido has been diagnosed with dry eye syndrome and the Mets placed the catcher on the injured list.Nido, 29, became expendable with rookie Francisco Alvarez’s emergence as Narvaez was on the IL for two months rehabbing from a strained left calf. The Mets also briefly had veteran catcher Gary Sanchez on the roster during Narvaez’s absence and while Nido was on the IL with dry eye syndrome — a condition he rectified with new contact lenses.
