The New York Mets were supposed to compete in 2018 with more quality outfielders than outfield positions.
The plan was Yoenis Cespedes in left field, Jay Bruce in right field, and a combination of Michael Conforto, Juan Lagares, and Brandon Nimmo in center field and off the bench.
As we now know, that’s not what happened. Raise your hand if you expected to see Austin Jackson, Jose Bautista, Matt den Dekker, Kevin Kaczmarski, and Dominic Smith roaming the spacious outfield in Citi Field.
