It feels like a decade since the New York Mets had a productive bat in center field. This doesn’t account for the shared time Michael Conforto and Brandon Nimmo had at the position in 2018 or any other brief appearances men have had at the position. Specifically, it’s the time since Carlos Beltran left which has felt like an eternity.
Between Beltran and Juan Lagares, several journeymen and no-name players had their chance. Nobody stuck around for long. While I don’t see a long-term option currently on the roster, there are two players the Mets should experiment with at the position.
