Fans Are Calling To Re-Sign This Former Mets Player

The New York Mets are one of the best teams in all of baseball this year but that doesn’t mean they don’t have their faults. All season long, fans have been asking the front office to add an impact bat to take over the DH spot, but they Mets added minimal talent at the deadline. They acquired three bats, Tyler Naquin from The Cincinnati Reds to spot start some games in the outfield and two players to platoon as the designated hitter. Daniel Vogelbach from the Pittsburg Pirates to face all right handed pitchers and Darin Ruf from the San Francisco Giants to bat against all lefties.

These three players have had some decent moments in the orange and blue thus far, but they aren’t bringing what the fans want as their team goes on a potential championship run. For some reason, fans are asking for the team to bring back former Met, Michael Conforto.

Personally, I don’t get it. For Michael Conforto to be eligible for any post season games, he would need to sign today which is August 31st. Why would we want to sign a player who hasn’t played all year long and he’s coming off a recent injury which required surgery? The answer for the Mets in 2022 isn’t the signing of Scooter but for some fans, he is exactly what the Amazin’s need to win their first championship since 1986.

    I like calling up Vientos, but stop with the Conforto talk

  • @SandyKazmir

    Yeah, just throw the guy $2.5 million for a month of play. Rookies who played a full season don’t see half that type of money!

    Please put your phone down. Thanks.

  • @LindorRBW

    Yes, he should go rest up for 2023 in Seattle, I agree!

  • @ItsStillWilpm

    Cause experimenting with a guy who hasn’t seen Major League pitching all year is a good idea in a pennant race.

    Technically it would be a 1 month deal where he’ll play a majority of the time in the minors to ramp back up. Bad idea

Listen at the end of the day I really do like Michael Conforto, but right now isn’t the time for the Mets to get cute. We’re in a race to the finish line with the Atlanta Braves and they are only getting better. We can’t start experimenting with Mikey to see if he still has it, it’s go time and this could very well be the year that these New York Mets get the job done!
