In a deal that seemed to come together almost instantaneously, the New York Mets acquired outfielder Keon Broxton from the Milwaukee Brewers in an effort to shore up their outfield depth ahead of their puzzlingly middling 2019 season.
Though Broxton is by no means the acquisition of the offseason, he could add some value to a Mets team that has a confusing outfield picture on their hands. Broxton, who is a controllable, semi-predictable asset, is one of the most impressive defensive outfielders in the game.
Interestingly enough, the Blue Jays are also in a bit of a similar pickle with their own defensively minded outfielder, the fan-favourite Kevin Pillar.
