With the recent departure of Todd Frazier to the Texas Rangers, it appears that the New York Mets will be heavily relying on Jeff McNeil as their third baseman in 2020. McNeil played a handful of games at third base last year as an occasional fill-in for Frazier. In his limited time at third, he continually flashed the leather and reinforced his ability to play multiple positions.
McNeil’s versatility meant that the Mets could fill their third base needs in-house this offseason, though of course their fans would have loved to find Anthony Rendon or Nolan Arenado under the Christmas tree in December.
