Suzuki, 37, signed a one-year, $1.5-million deal to become the Angels’ backup catcher last week, roughly a month after the team narrowly missed adding free-agent James McCann. He is seven years younger than Suzuki and considered a better “framer,” according to advanced statistics. McCann is spry enough to play nearly every day, meaning he could have provided a consistent boost to an Angels lineup that last season ranked ninth in MLB in runs (294).
With the hot stove heating up, two teams have reportedly emerged as the front-runners to land the 30-year old right-hander, according to MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand, the New York Mets and Los Angeles Angels : “Mets team president Sandy Alderson made it clear early in the winter that he likes Bauer…even after signing Marcus Stroman, James McCann and Trevor May for a combined $75 million.
