Omar Narvaez said he loves New York, understands his current role and believes the Mets’ fortunes will turn at some point.
But a veteran who has become the backup catcher would understand and welcome a trade if it develops — and if it means he would receive more playing time.
Narvaez was signed this offseason to share the catching duties with Tomas Nido, but an early April calf strain sidelined him until early June. Narvaez was activated off the 60-day injured list on June 6 and has started just 11 of the 40 games since.He acknowledged it is “tough” to find a rhythm at the plate without consistent at-bats — he entered play hitting .222 with one home run in 45 at-bats this season — but understood why his playing time has declined.
The Mets, meanwhile, entered play seven games back of a National League wild-card spot and have locked up a losing record by the deadline.
