The New York Mets made a surprising move on Friday, inking veteran first baseman Matt Adams to a minor league deal. While this guarantees him as much playing time on the major league roster as I’ve had in my lifetime, it does suggest something could be brewing with Dominic Smith.
Smith has long been one of the team’s best trade chips. The man has no obvious path toward regular playing time. With Adams now in the picture, it seems more feasible to move him.
The organization doesn’t have to make a decision yet.
