Is A.J. Pollock the answer to the Mets’ outfield need or just another injury waiting to happen?
As general manager Brodie Van Wagenen sorts through the limited number of available outfield options who could improve the club, Pollock’s name remains near the top of their list. But Pollock also has a price tag and injury history that is leaving team officials to wonder if the money could be better spent elsewhere, with a variety of scenarios possible.
The 31-year-old center fielder had a slash line of .257/.316/.484 with 21 homers and 65 RBIs in 113 games for the Diamondbacks last season.
