Im thinking D’arnaud’s signing has little to do with Wilson Contreras’ market. [56], On May 5, 2019, d’Arnaud signed a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Cardinals don’t need much pitching. D’Arnaud, 30, began the season on the 10-day injured list with the New York Mets as he completed his recovery from Tommy John surgery. A look at California’s November ballot propositions. The Mets, however, are still on the hook to pay d’Arnaud $3.5 million this season. To make room for d'Arnaud on the 40-man roster, the Rays moved. You know I was all for the Brewers to sign D’arnaud but I still think these catchers could have some good success in Milwaukee; McGuire ( Toronto), Avilla , Nottingham, Murphy ( Atlanta), Sisco, Romine, Actually surprised by this move. Mets released him, now he will be a Mets killer. I don’t mind it at all, Jays catchers Jansen and McGuire going up in value all of a sudden. D’Arnaud will catch for the Rays after the team placed catcher Mike Zunino on the injured list. Very glad to here about the change in stance for d’Arnaud. The worst thing they can do is be partially pregnant. We are talking about right now. By George Miller | November 24, 2019 at 3:28pm CDT. He’d cost just as much. Originally viewed as the key piece in the R.A. Dickey trade with the Blue Jays which netted the Mets Noah Syndergaard, d’Arnaud had his share of ups and downs across parts of seven seasons with the Mets. Keeping Flowers was a bone head move as well. He’s old as dirt, slow and can’t slide worth a crap. haha. If he can stay healthy it’s s good addition but if not Flowers will be stuck carrying most of the load. I’m not saying all are gone, but it’s ridiculous to be ranking teams based on acquisition assumptions. Not the best team in the NL but very good! AA must have a hussy lined up for the Winter Meetings, and is doing all his business before turkey day……. [41], D'Arnaud finished the season appearing in 108 games batting .242 in 385 at-bats in 421 plate appearances with 93 hits, 13 home runs, 41 RBIs, 32 walks, 48 runs scored and 64 strikeouts. If I were the Braves and Morales was available in the rule 5, I’d draft him and be happy. And… the Dodgers, the Nats probably better, others debatable. The Astros for example probably don’t have a package to put together for that without including Whitley or Tucker. Trees would sacrifice themselves in hopes of one day becoming his bat. The Cubs farm system has literally no power hitters. d’Arnaud, who came over to the Mets in the RA Dickey trade, was a below-average offensive catcher as … He saw another great spike in power, hitting 21 home runs with a slugging percentage of .542 and 33 doubles. California’s November election will feature 12 statewide ballot measures. [57] He appeared in one game for the Dodgers as a pinch hitter. I believe their 40-man is maxed out, though. If the Braves get JD or Moose, then they are virtually back where they were at the end of last year. arguably the best catcher left on the market. 4th best free agent catcher. Uh… d’Arnaud not very good. The 30-year-old appeared in just one game for Los Angeles and went hitless in his lone at-bat as a pinch hitter. If that’s dead money that would cripple the Rays. After he was acquired as a promising catching prospect in 2012, d’Arnaud appeared in more than 75 games in just two of six seasons with the Mets, including a 2018 season in which he missed all but four games thanks to Tommy John surgery. i hope they don’t keep Zunino either since he can’t hit an outside curve and his defense is overrated. That was one of my more confident picks, oh well. We can not use WAR and logically compare him to other players. Usually, major league teams cannot wait for a day off to break up the monotony of a 162-game season. They improved when names like Melanckn, green, Martin, and smith replaced names like Freeman, Sobotka, Vizciano and Parsons. Atlanta Braves Newsstand Transactions Travis D'Arnaud. 3 seasons of a top 3 catcher in baseball is not going to be cheap. Rock on! It’s a non starter until you actually get a blue chip catcher back for mookie…. Some awful years before that. Dude couldn’t even hit his weight with the help of a banging rash can telling him what’s coming. Good for them for taking advantage of other teams misjudgments of the value of players like Moose and Grandal(even though it cost them draft choices in addition to one years worth of payroll) but one of those guy has signed a hefty deal elsewhere already and Moose has clearly proven to other organizations he’s worth a multi year investment. The nats lost Parra, a small but significant presence, and Kendrick, a fairly significant contributor on the field and in the clubhouse. I could think of a bunch of other catchers I’d rather have, I doubt that considering he’s below average in offense and defense. Really? As you say, if we’re talking about right now, he is gone. [16] D'Arnaud played the entire 2010 season with the Dunedin Blue Jays, the Blue Jays' High-A affiliate in the Florida State League. Ok, guy. [33] On July 24, d'Arnaud played in his first rehab game with the GCL Mets, and went 1–3 at the plate. I guess they might as well take D’Arnaud and move on to other needs. Probably would have been better to keep Suzuki but they wanted to give McCann another shot for cheap and they probably didn’t expect him to retire. I didn’t think they’d spend that much for a second catcher. You mean the guy who is under contract for 2020 already? The Mets won the game 10-1. Please login to leave a reply. College football: No. Come on Tampa bay Rays. In 2007, d'Arnaud started his professional career with the Philadelphia Phillies' Rookie League affiliate, the Gulf Coast League Phillies. Also the dodgers bullpen is a bit worse. Your California Privacy Rights Travis Emmanuel d'Arnaud (born February 10, 1989), nicknamed Lil D,[1][2][3] is an American professional baseball catcher for the Atlanta Braves of Major League Baseball (MLB). Trade Inciarte & Greene both have value and it would free up money for Donaldson & have money to trade for a corner OF bat for 1 or 2 years like Marte. He played just four games in 2018 before suffering an elbow injury, which required Tommy John surgery. Then they sign a bunch of elder statesmen to fill out their bullpen… On top of that they need to replace/re-sign Donaldson and replace/re-sign their number two pitcher. They should sign Zobrist or Holt and then sign a guy like Hamels or Bumgarner to finish up the off-season. he may have been the brains beside some of their slick deals. After getting his career back on track with the Rays, the 30-year-old catcher cashed in by signing a two-year, $16 million deal with the Braves on Sunday, the team announced. They improved when freeman had the bone spur taken from his arm. This makes them better. The Rays would have never gone for it, and are almost certain to non-tender Zunnino. Five days after the catcher signed with the team he grew up cheering for in Long Beach, the Dodgers shipped him to the Tampa Bay Rays for cash. “He’s going to go out there and get more playing time,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. He stood up straighter with hands lower. That is good. On July 5, 2016, d'Arnaud switched his uniform number from 7 to 18 to offer a salute to retired NFL quarterback Peyton Manning, and to give José Reyes the number he had worn his whole MLB career. The Didi Gregorius fallout Yankees face as decisions await, THE BEST INSIGHTS FROM THE ULTIMATE INSIDERS, Blue Rush: A NY Giants Podcast Cash considerations will go … Cervellii has hit under .250 2 times in 12 years….Cervelli’s OBP 50 points higher Cervelli’s OPS is better also, but not much difference there, and for the WAR heads Cervelli is at career 12.4 and D’Arnaud is at career 3.3…..One season doesn’t make a career. [52], D'Arnaud began the season as the Mets' Opening Day catcher. In 2008, d'Arnaud began the season with the Phillies' Class-A Short Season affiliate, the Williamsport Crosscutters of the New York–Penn League. The Astros have enough in the tank to get him. I bet AA regrets trading him and Syndergaard to the Mets for RA Dickey all those years back. Get the latest odds on all the top sports. He shows signs of hitting, he can throw and CATCH the damb ball and he wouldn’t cost you. That’s disgusting. Kinda surprised by this signing and not a huge fan of this move. No sorry not happening, Moose will be back in Milwaukee now. How, exactly, has not been decided, he said. Did anyone think they’d sign him? He should be relatively cheap and he looked decent at the plate as a Brave last season. But Avila still has plenty left in the tank and if not go with Nottingham he is going to surprise a lot of people. Argument either way. might even be a better value than Grandal. November 24, 2019 | 5:15pm | Updated November 25, 2019 | 10:18am. “And for us to try to give him an opportunity and runway, it’s just been difficult.”. How to vote. I don’t see d”Arnaud, a guy who cannot stay on the field and post all of a +1 WAR moves the needle at all. D’Arnaud has hit over .250 only three times in seven years. d’Arnaud will likely help fill-in for Mike Zunino, who landed on the 10-day injured list with a left quad strain and is expected to miss over a month of action.
