Jon Heyman of SI.com reports that free agent Jorge Posada has reached out to the Mets.
The Mets are looking for looking for a defensive-minded backup to Josh Thole, so a match appears unlikely. However, it at least shows that Posada is interested in continuing his playing career. The 40-year-old batted just .235/.315/.398 with 14 home runs, 44 RBI and a .714 OPS over 387 plate appearances this season. He isn’t expected to return to the Yankees, but recently told reporters that he has drawn interest from teams as a backup catcher or part-time designated hitter.
