If one had to describe Darin Ruf’s tenure with the Mets, it would probably be the Office Space “So what would you say you do here?” meme. Because after watching Ruf play 28 games with the club post-trade deadline, I can’t say the answer to that question is clear. He didn’t do much of anything that proved that he deserved to be rostered or justify the trade that brought him here.
In search of some right-handed pop out of the DH spot at the deadline, and with J.D. Davis languishing in that role, the club decided to swing a trade with the Giants.
