As the Mets put the finishing touches on their roster heading into Opening Day, one backstop has been let go from New York.

Three players who formerly played for the Los Angeles Dodgers have joined the New York Mets during the offseason.

These are two awesome names to add.

The New York Mets are still serious about getting better at run prevention, and yesterday they continued making moves with that in mind as they signed catcher Austin Barnes to a minor league deal with an invite to spring training. 

The Dodgers are calling up top prospect Dalton Rushing and designating longtime backup catcher Austin Barnes for assignment.
