The word is out. Mets are pretty close to signing a deal with aged veteran catcher Benji Molina. It was initially said Molina was looking for a three year deal but that does not seem very likely based on his age. I would think it would be more like two years although one year could be an option. I would think that the two years would give them more time for him to work with the younger guys in there pitching staff as well as there young up and coming catcher Josh Thole.

Molina hit .265 last year with 20 homers and 80 RBI’s. He adds a little power to the batting order. This was a big issue for the Mets last year. When Daniel Murphy is your home run leader. You know you have a problem.

Lets hope this happens soon
