The Modern York Mets have their sights set on a position player profundity piece with a few pop. And it’s a commonplace confront, to begin with baseman/DH Luke Voit, who the Mets are moving towards an assention with around a minor association bargain with an welcome to big-league spring preparing, concurring to The Modern York Post’s Joel Sherman. SNY insider Andy Martino was the primary to report that the sides were in talks. Voit played a parcel of final season for the Mets’ Triple-A partner in Syracuse. Amid this spell, the 33-year-old smashed it at the plate, posting a 1.058 OPS, 14 domestic runs and 35 RBIs in fair 37 diversions. In any case, the Mets never called the slugger up to the majors, which driven to his choice to pick out of his minor alliance bargain in Admirable. Voit finished the 2023 campaign within the big-leagues with the Milwaukee Brewers, but as it were delivered a .549 OPS with zero homers and four RBIs in 22 recreations. The previous Yankee has demonstrated that he can still swing it at a few capacity, so there’s a few esteem there. His best a long time came within the Bronx from 2018-2020, where he got to be a pillar within the Yankees’ lineup as their ordinary to begin with baseman. He moreover driven the majors in homers in 2020 and came in at ninth within the AL MVP race amid the Covid-shortened season.
In the long run, Voit was bit by the damage bug and eventually fell out of favor some time recently the Yankees went ahead and supplanted him with Anthony Rizzo, who they procured from the Chicago Whelps at the 2021 exchange due date. Time will tell with respect to whether Voit can get back on track at the big-league level, but he certainly carries a booming bat, which may be a great fit at DH for the Mets in case Stamp Vientos and others flop early on.
