The Mets entered this past offseason with several crucial decisions to make. They ended up reloading the roster by committing $500-plus million to player talent in 2023 and beyond. Despite this huge dollar amount, one area didn’t get upgraded: designated hitter. Could Luis Guillorme impact how it’s handled in 2023?
In chatting with Pat Ragazzo of Sports Illustrated, general manager Billy Eppler said the Mets’ designated hitter situation is “undefined”. Part of it has to do with how New York uses that area of the lineup. Another part has to do with the players currently on the roster.
