The Mets’ 2023 plan for third base has evolved despite not actually changing at all.
I mean, do you remember the whole Carlos Correa thing? How he was going to play next to Francisco Lindor for the next decade? No, I don’t remember that either (I’m kidding).
After things fell apart and Correa re-signed with the Minnesota Twins, the Mets were left with the same mixture of guys for the hot corner. Eduardo Escobar is the veteran, while Mark Vientos and Brett Baty are the prospects with experience there.
Baty is viewed as the future at the position for New York.
