The Mets made a solid move on Thursday, bringing in free agent infielder Jed Lowrie on an economical two-year deal. Lowrie is coming off a strong 2018 season and is a valuable addition to the team, but he also brings their headcount of likely Opening Day roster infielders to six. How will the Mets manage these newfound riches?
The middle infield starting spots, barring injuries, are virtual locks. Amed Rosario will be installed at shortstop for the foreseeable future, and All-Star trade acquisition Robinson Cano will be at his usual second base.
