This is largely due to the injury of Opening Day starting catcher James McCann, which has sidelined him for much of the season.Adding either Willson Contreras or Christian Vazquez would be a great upgrade for the Mets. A trade for Vazquez and J.D. Martinez may be a better deal as it would fill two needs that the Mets have in finding a DH and catcher.Kelli@cubsgirl12J.D. Martinez/ Christian Vázquez WaY better.
