Since 2013, Juan Lagares has been a member of the New York Mets. This will probably change over the winter when he departs for free agency.
Unlike some departures, Lagares’ comes on a bit of a downer. Despite playing in 133 games for the 2019 Mets (the second-highest total of his career) he didn’t have the same impact he did early on in his MLB career. Lagares was a part-time player who at times looked like a DFA candidate.
As we exit the 2019 campaign, we look back at Lagares’ season and what’s in store for him in 2020.
