The New York Mets just lost their starting second baseman after Robinson Cano’s second performance-enhancing drug violation. He will miss the 162 games of the 2021 season, and the Mets need to appoint a new starter in the keystone.
That could imply lots of possible scenarios. The team could opt to move Jeff McNeil there permanently, leaving third base for J.D. Davis or Andres Gimenez and left field for Dom Smith. They can also try Gimenez or Amed Rosario at second, taking advantage of their infield depth. Or, you know, they could also sign DJ LeMahieu and stick him at second.
