New York Mets’ centerfield issue: 3 free agent options for 2020

The New York Mets put forth a -93 DRS as a team. That’s the second-worst DRS by a winning team since 2003 when DRS started being tracked. Only the 2005 Yankees had a worse defense and still had a winning record. The biggest culprit in that awful defense was centerfield.

Between Brandon Nimmo, Michael Conforto, Juan Lagares and Rajai Davis, the Mets weren’t able to find a single true centerfielder this year. It was an issue all year long and the Mets have to address it this offseason. Lucky for them, there are a few options likely to be available on the free-agent market to fix that issue.
