In the first New York Mets trade of the offseason, the club landed veteran outfielder Jake Marisnick from the Houston Astros. Hoping he’ll become a good outfielder for the bench, the team accomplished their mission of upgrading the team’s defense while also adding a pretty fast baserunner to the roster.
Unfortunately, Marisnick isn’t the game-changer many Mets fans were hoping to see added to the roster. Surely the best defensive center fielder now with the club, he’s only going to have a positive effect on the 2020 season if used correctly.
During his years with the Astros, Marisnick often found his way into games.
