Roster construction and the current importance of Robinson Canó

Robinson Canó’s Mets tenure has been, in a word, tumultuous. After a somewhat controversial trade prior to the 2019 season that saw him and Edwin Díaz get sent from Seattle to Queens for a package surrounding soon to be top prospect Jarred Kelenic, Canó had an up and down first year as a Met.

He started slow, struggling to a .240/.287/.360 (73 wRC+) first half, raising immediate questions on whether or not Canó was, for lack of a better term, completely washed. However, he came back in the second half of the season looking like a completely different player.
