caulfield12 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Marisnick or one of the losers in the Mets' outfield battle would be a decent pick-up. Nimmo, J.D. Davis and Conforto are expected to be the starters. They also have Domonic Smith and Cespedes (all the Cubans, if they come with a huge salary subsidy).

The Mets just traded for Marisnick and he’s a terrible hitter. I would hope we do better than him as a righty OF option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggins Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Honestly, platooning Engel and using only against lefties / as a defensive replacement would be similar and cheaper to Pillar. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer an upgrade, obviously, but I don't really think Pillar is an upgrade. Maybe Hunter Pence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbs1969 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 They are not signing Puig. Puig is all fake smoke. Any addition will come via trade if at all. The Red Sox need to reduce about 15-20 million to get under tax. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engel is practically free, at least for one more season, and a good defender, which are the only points in his favor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
