I know I’m a little late on this — I’ve been busy, okay? But I wanted to add my two cents on the wild weekend that just passed.
First, the trade deadline and the acquisition of Javier Baez. Baez is a great player, no question about that. He makes the Mets a better team. He is capable of giving the team a spark like Yoenis Cespedes did in 2015, carrying them all the way to the World Series.
He will fill in at short until his pal Francisco Lindor comes back. Then, he probably moves to second base, with Jeff McNeill sliding over to third.
