The New York Mets filled their catching void on Monday, acquiring Paul Lo Duca from the Florida Marlins in exchange for two players to be named later. Lo Duca, who was born in Brooklyn, batted .283 with the Marlins last year, hitting six home runs and driving in 57 runs in 132 games. He was second among National League catchers in batting average. The Mets, whose catcher last year was Mike Piazza, have been extremely busy this offseason, having previously acquired high-profile closer Billy Wagner and slugging first baseman Carlos Delgado among other moves. "When the offseason began, we had three main priorities: to fortify our bullpen, add an impact middle of the lineup presence and solidify our catching," said Mets general manager Omar Mina in a statement. "We feel we have addressed those needs with Billy Wagner, Carlos Delgado and now Paul Lo Duca. We are not done trying to improve this club." Lo Duca, a three-time All-Star, was acquired by the Marlins from the Los Angeles Dodgers at the 2004 trade deadline and is a .285 career hitter with 66 homers and 363 RBI in 772 games. His best season came in 2001 with the Dodgers, when he batted .320 with 25 homers and 90 runs batted in. The Marlins, meanwhile, continue their fire sale. In addition to losing Lo Duca and Delgado to the Mets, Florida has also dealt second baseman Luis Castillo to Minnesota as well as pitcher Josh Beckett and third baseman Mike Lowell to Boston.
