The Chicago Cubs designated veteran catcher
Yan Gomes for assignment on Wednesday and signed free-agent catcher
Tomas Nido to an undisclosed deal in a corresponding move. The 36-year-old Gomes just wasn't getting it done as the primary backup to starting catcher
Miguel Amaya, slashing a pitiful .154/.179/.242 this year with two home runs, seven RBI, seven runs scored, two walks and 36 strikeouts in 96 plate appearances over 34 games in his third year with the Cubbies. Gomes will turn 37 in July, and it's unclear if any other organization will be interested in adding him as catching depth. Nido was released by the New York Mets recently after going 19-for-83 (.229) with eight RBI in 32 games in the Big Apple in 2024. He'll take over as Amaya's backup in Chicago.

New York Mets catcher
Tomas Nido is slated to make his first start of the 2024 season as the New York Mets look to complete a three-game sweep against the Los Angeles Dodgers and continue their six-game win streak. Nido was promoted from Triple-A Syracuse yesterday when
Francisco Alvarez (thumb) was placed on the injured list. Nido struggled at the plate last season as he hit for a .125/.153/.125 stat line across 61 plate appearances. The 30-year-old should be expected to serve as the backup catcher in Queens behind
Omar Narvaez for the foreseeable future. Nido will have trouble finding a path to fantasy relevance in a limited role and due to his past struggles in the batter's box. He is best left as a desperation option in DFS but has a difficult matchup today as he will face
Tyler Glasnow.

The New York Mets are expected to designate catcher
Tomas Nido for assignment, according to a source. The team will go with a catching tandem of prospect
Francisco Alvarez and
Omar Narvaez (calf) moving forward. Nido is strong defensively behind the plate, but he doesn't hit much and has gone just 7-for-56 (.125) in 22 games this year for the Mets with one, RBI, two walks and 18 strikeouts in 61 trips to the plate. If the 29-year-old clears waivers, there's a chance he could remain with the organization in the minor leagues. The 29-year-old backstop has a .213/.249/.308 career slash line with a .557 OPS and 13 home runs in 274 major-league games.

The New York Mets reinstated catcher
Tomas Nido (eye) from the 10-day injured list on Thursday and designated catcher
Gary Sanchez for assignment in a corresponding move. Nido missed some time with vision issues, but apparently he's fixed them and is ready face big-league pitching again.
Omar Narvaez (calf) is nearing a return from his injured-list stint as well, so for now, Nido will split playing time behind the plate in Queens with youngster
Francisco Alvarez. The 29-year-old Nido offers very little fantasy-wise in the deepest of leagues with a .213 career average and only 13 home runs in seven big-league seasons. Sanchez is likely to join Triple-A Syracuse after going 1-for-6 with an RBI and three strikeouts in three games played for the Mets.
