Today the New York Mets claimed catcher Kelly Shoppach off waivers from the Boston Red Sox. The Mets will send a player back, but they haven’t decided who that will be at this moment.
Shoppach isn’t expected to be with the team till Wednesday, but Rob Johnson will likely be the guy sent down.
In 48 games this season, Shoppach had five homeruns including 17 RBI’s. Shoppach is a very solid defensive catcher and has a very strong arm. His skill set will make him a very nice upgrade from the backup catchers this season.
