The Mets post August 1st roster has been a revolving door as the organization has yet to find the right mix of talent to replace all those dealt away. One of the players expected to be a staple on the roster for the remainder of the season will instead be heading back to the Minor Leagues.
During today’s pregame press conference, Mets manager Buck Showalter announced that the blue and orange are optioning rookie third baseman Brett Baty to Triple-A Syracuse.
“Just a little timeout, kind of a take a breath, ” Showalter said after being asked about why now is the time to send down Baty.
