Nido was designated for assignment in a move that keeps catcher Francisco Álvarez in the majors. 27, 2022.NEW YORK (AP) - Needing to make a difficult decision at catcher, the New York Mets cut light-hitting Tomás Nido on Monday when they reinstated fellow backstop Omar Narváez from the 60-day injured list.
