The New York Mets Have Found Their Second Baseman In T.J. Rivera

Daniel Murphy? A Washington National. Dilson Herrera? A Cincinnati Red. Neil Walker? A Free-Agent.

Second base has been one of the most troubling positions for the Mets to fill in recent history. In 2011, Daniel Murphy took over the job, but despite his offensive prowess, the Mets have always been looking for a true second baseman.

The Mets thought they found their man of the future in 2013 when they acquired Dilson Herrera in a deal that sent John Buck and Marlon Byrd to the Pirates.
