The New York Mets‘ plans for the infield suffered when starting second baseman Robinson Cano got busted using performance-enhancing drugs for a second time, earning him a season-long suspension for 2021.
However, the New York Mets aren’t in a rush to find solutions, as they have more than a few internal options to take over second base. One of them involves moving rookie Andres Gimenez (.263/.333/.398) there, as he made a positive impression and is a plus fielder and baserunner.
Another solution would involve writing Jeff McNeil’s name in the keystone, as he has plenty of experience playing there.
