Recently, MLB.com’s Steve Simineri had a chance to sit down with Mets catcher Kevin Plawecki and talk about his road to the big leagues, his relationship with Travis d’Arnaud, and more.
Here’s an excerpt:
There’s been some speculation one of Plawecki or d’Arnaud could eventually transition to a corner outfield spot, but right now, the Mets see neither as anything but catchers and they are fortunate to be faced with such a conundrum.
However, while Plawecki may be competing for d’Arnaud’s job that’s had no effect on the close relationship that the two have established.
“On and off the field it’s a great relationship,” said Plawecki, who revealed that d’Arnaud even took him out to dinner before his debut in order to give him a rundown on what to expect on a day-to-day basis. “I know he’s been there for me since day one and I know that he will continue to do that for me.”
