With the Mets’ trade-deadline sell-off complete, there’s not much else for New York to accomplish this season. Going 0-6 on their most recent road trip further solidifies that fact. It’s time to just let the kids play, right? That’s true, but third baseman Brett Baty may be racking up innings in Triple-A for the Syracuse Mets soon. If that happens, Ronny Mauricio should take his place (but it probably won’t happen).
One of New York’s top prospects entering 2023, Baty has struggled both in the field and at the plate during his extended opportunity in the big leagues.
