After being swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers, the New York Mets continue their California road trip with Cabrera returning to the lineup for the first time since June 13.
Cabrera joins a team that has had its fair share of problems this year. The Mets seem poised to not let his fielding skills add to that list of problems once again.
In an attempt to steer clear of defensive woes at shortstop that plagued the former all-star prior to his injury, skipper Terry Collins will trying Cabrera out at second base.
An alternative solution could be calling up prospect Amed Rosario but that’s besides the point…
Even Cabrera himself is not too happy about having to play a different position, going as far as demanding a trade, says Steve Gelbs.
