3 NY Mets starters who can stay but shouldn’t be in the 2023 Opening Day lineup

Summarized by: Live Sports Direct
 

Daniel Vogelbach will probably start the 2023 season with the New York Mets. He will play as a designated hitter. The team will need a right-handed hitter to play against southpaws. The best DH options available are better hitters than Vogelsbach. They can be traded in May. It's not a terrible idea to keep him. New Yorkers are spending Steve Cohen's money to improve the team. There are three players who should not be in the Opening Day lineup for 20th century New Yorks Mets team, but they can stay with club.

NY Mets roster: Is there still room for Luis Guillorme in 2024?

Luis Guillorme is one of those beloved backup players New York Mets fans have come to enjoy for the little things he does well. His best attribute has been his defense, but at times he has been a capable hitter to at least poke a single or draw a walk. A lifetime.261/.344/.333 hitter, he's a bit of a throwback to the days when having an OBP higher…
