2024 Fantasy Outlook
Narvaez was able to secure a deal with the Mets after a down year for the Brewers in 2022, but he went down early with a calf strain and finished 2023 with a .580 OPS in just 49 contests. The veteran backstop was supposed to help bridge the gap to top prospect Francisco Alvarez, but the youngster ended up making 108 appearances behind the plate. Narvaez unsurprisingly exercised his $7 million player option for 2024 and is poised to serve as New York's backup catcher. Read Past Outlooks
Playing second fiddle to Nido
Narvaez is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Cubs, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
ANALYSIS
Narvaez started three of the first four games at catcher after Francisco Alvarez (thumb) got hurt and was placed on the injured list, but it's now been Tomas Nido behind the plate for four of the last five contests. The 32-year-old Narvaez is slashing just .204/.271/.284 as a Met since the beginning of last season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Mets open to trading
The Mets have informed clubs they are open to trading Narvaez, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Narvez is set to make $7 million in 2024 and is projected to play very little as Francisco Alvarez's backup, so it's no surprise the Mets are willing to move him. They would surely have to eat a significant chunk of his salary to do so while accepting very little in return. New York also owes Tomas Nido $2.1 million in 2024, and while he's no longer on the 40-man roster, he could easily slide into the backup catcher role.

2017
Narvaez bounced back offensively in 2021 with a .744 OPS, but he cratered again last season with a 71 wRC+. He had multiple stints on the injured list and played in only 84 games, and he failed to consistently make solid contact with an 18.4 percent hard-hit rate. Narvaez's defense was once again above average, but he was unable to move the needle offensively. It was poor timing for a down season amid a contract year, but he was still able to secure a one-year, $8 million pact for 2023 with the Mets. Narvaez should operate in the strong side of a platoon with Tomas Nido being the secondary option, but he may need a strong showing in spring training in order to retain that role later in the season. The Mets also has arguably the best catching prospect in baseball, Francisco Alvarez, waiting in the wings.
