The Mets were practically forced into using Luisangel Acuna in September of last year. The irony is that it's what he'll be most useful for in 2025.
Before Friday’s game against the San Francisco Giants, the New York Mets predictably sent Luisangel Acuna back to the minors. Used sparingly, they made it clear (again) that he is the odd man out in their group of surplus infielders. Although he managed to survive with the team past the trade deadline, it’s becoming clearer how little faith they have that he’ll be a solution for them at any position.
