The addition of Jorge Polanco to the New York Mets roster will push several free agent or trade options to the side but more importantly a few players off of the roster entirely. Expected to play first base and DH, adding him helped make a few others more redundant and less needed for the coming year.
By signing Polanco, we can be assured none of these three players are on the team next year.
1) Jeff McNeil
Jeff McNeil is a different style of player than Polanco but in the same universe. Each is a versatile second baseman with McNeil being the less powerful/high-average type when things go well and Polanco being more pop/so-so average when he’s doing his best.
