Mets C Luis Torrens Gets 2-Year Extension Reportedly Worth $11.5M
The deal includes $2 million in incentives and rewards Torrens for elite defense and steady fill-in duty behind Francisco Alvarez.
- On Saturday, the New York Mets and catcher Luis Torrens agreed to a two-year, $11.5 million contract extension through the 2028 season, including $2 million in possible incentives.
- Torrens, who turned 30 on Saturday, has been a reliable backup to Francisco Alvarez since joining the Mets in 2024, establishing himself as a defensive force during the team's Championship Series run.
- Last season, the catcher was a National League Gold Glove finalist with a 40.8% caught-stealing rate; he has caught 47% of base stealers since 2024, 11% better than any catcher with at least 500 innings.
- Mets manager Carlos Mendoza called Torrens "one of the best, if not the best, backup catchers in the league," while Torrens said before Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels he is "really, really happy about it."
- Originally signed by the Yankees in 2012, Torrens spent time with five other organizations before finding stability with the Mets, where he remains a key piece through 2028.
