The Mets might need a backup catcher

Hot Stove I guess offically starts on saturday after the 5 day period where teams have the exclusive right to re sign there own players. The Mets have Henry Blanco out there now as a free agent. The Mets could resign the 39 year old but they might need someone who can play more at this point as a backup.

Below are the Catchers available and there age -of course the next 5 days could change this list.

 
Rod Barajas 35,  Josh Bard 33, John Buck 30,  Ramon Hernandez 35, Gerald Laird 31, Victor Martinez 32, Bengie Molina 36,  A.J. Pierzynski 34,  Matt Treanor 35, Jason Varitek 39, Gregg Zaun 40
 
These 2 below have mutual options that can keep them out of the free agent market
 
Miguel Olivo 32, - $2.7MM mutual option with a $500K buyout 
Yorvit Torrealba 32, - $3.5MM mutual option with a $500K buyout
