The first trade of the winter for the New York Mets took place this week when the team acquired outfielder Jake Marisnick from the Houston Astros in exchange for two prospects. Marisnick, who will be 29 within the first few days of the 2020 season, will be joining his former teammate J.D. Davis in Flushing next year.
Marisnick will be good for them because he is a natural center fielder, which is what the Mets need. Their center fielder of the past few years, Juan Lagares, is now a free agent and the Amazins do not have a player who can occupy that vacancy.
