The Mets need to call up Brett Baty
The loss of Luis Guillorme to a groin injury has placed the Mets in a somewhat precarious position. They’ve already been fielding one near-automatic out in their lineup, as James McCann (52 wRC+) and Tomás Nido (58 wRC+) have both been dreadful offensively out of the catcher spot. Having one black hole in the lineup is not ideal; having two is obviously a whole other level of concerning. While Guillorme is hardly a world-beater offensively, his production against right-handed pitchers is pretty respectable, and even when he’s not providing much value with the bat, his sterling defense generally makes up for it.
