Omar NarvĂĄez - Set to back up Alvarez Narvaez will open the season as the Mets' No. 2 catcher behind Francisco Alvarez. Impact This was the expected role for Narvaez after he played 49 games in 2023 during his first season with New York, slashing a weak .211/.283/.297 with only two homers and seven RBI. The 32-year-old's days as a fantasy asset are behind him, and even if Alvarez were to get hurt, Narvaez would likely split work behind the plate with Tomas Nido, who will begin the season with Triple-A Syracuse.
