The Mets, still in search of a second baseman and an outfielder/first baseman, added some catching depth Friday, signing Jose Lobaton to a minor league deal with an invitation to major league spring training.
The 33-year-old Nationals castoff played 51 games for Washington last season as Matt Wieters’ backup and the switch-hitter has seen his defense slip in recent years.
Travis d’Arnaud and Kevin Plawecki figure to split time catching next season, but they have struggled with production at the plate and staying healthy.
The Mets officially announced the signing of reliever Anthony Swarzak on Friday.
