Mets shouldn’t worry about a crowded outfield when Yoenis Cespedes returns
The New York Mets don’t need to worry about an overcrowded outfield. A lack of depth will hurt them far more.
Perhaps the least worrisome roster crunch the New York Mets need to concern themselves with is what happens when Yoenis Cespedes returns in 2019. Some have suggested adding an outfielder this winter would create an issue in the future. Have they not watched the past two years of Mets baseball?
Last year, the outfield situation got so bad we were forced to watch Dominic Smith in left field. Injuries to Cespedes, Juan Lagares, and Jay Bruce created an issue. A lack of depth in the minor leagues made it even more troublesome when the outfielders fell like flies.
