Depth. Depth. Depth. It’s one part of the 2019 New York Mets we heard plenty about at the start of the season. As they moved along the schedule, we saw it put to the test more and more.
September is a time when the talent of your depth really matters. Teams expand their rosters from 25 to 40 men, allowing for those one-dimensional depth pieces stashed in the minors to contribute the best they can.
The Mets have depth even with several key players still on the IL. Most notably, Dominic Smith is itching to return from a foot injury before the year is through.
