The Brewers have two former Mets in their ranks: Juan Centeno and Carlos Gomez.
Juan Centeno, catcher, who joined the Brewers this off season being selected off waivers at the end of October. Juan didn’t really have a place on the team this year with d’Arnaud as the starter, Recker as the back up, Plawecki waiting in the hole, and other players looking to fill in the back up spot. Hopefully Juan finds a role with the Brewers.
Carlos Gomez is probably the best player right now in the majors who used to be a Met. The Twins acquired him as part of the deal for Johan Santana, and he would become the only redeeming part of the trade for the Twins, but they traded him the next year to the Brewers where he became a great player. Poor Twins.
This series of articles will take us across every organization in baseball and look for former Mets in the majors and minors to see how they are doing, leading up to a “Former Mets Team” to see how the current Mets stack up with pieces we have all over the place. I am still looking for Mets team members on the Pirates, Rangers, White Sox and Tigers. If you know any, please let me know!
