7 years agoThe New York Mets have a bit of a logjam in the outfield, especially when Michael Conforto (shoulder) returns from injury, so it would make sense to trade one of them if there was an appealing offer on the table. It sounds as though they are indeed receiving calls on their most expendable outfielder, Juan Lagares. Lagares is a former Gold Glover who could win the award any given year, but his hitting has always left something to be desired. A .257/.297/.366 slash line is tough to justify no matter how good his defense is, and his constant injury issues certainly don't help his cause. If Lagares is indeed traded, Grapefruit League superstar Brandon Nimmo would be the team’s everyday center fielder until Conforto returns.--John Smith
