The New York Mets have caught fire as of late and are making a serious playoff push. They are just two games back in the NL Wild Card standings and have a real shot at playing October baseball this season.
A few days ago, the Kansas City Royals designated outfielder Billy Hamilton for assignment. Ever since he made his debut, Hamilton has struggled mightily with the bat, but he has always been praised for his fantastic defense and elite speed.I would expect him to go to a team that has its sights set on the playoffs because speed is one of the most sought-after tools in the postseason.
