The New York Mets have added a respected new voice to their dugout: Troy Snitker, a hitting coach with a proven track record for refining swings in Houston. Though at first glance a practical move, his hire quietly signals bigger possibilities for the team’s approach, especially regarding who they target for their corner infield spots.
Snitker’s experience includes working closely with top-tier infield talent, giving the Mets insight into players now on the open market. While this hire doesn’t confirm a single move, it frames a subtle narrative: the third base situation in Queens is far from settled, and Pete Alonso’s role could face unexpected reconsideration if the team chooses to pursue one of the league’s top free agents.
