Having the most expensive payroll in the MLB has not helped the New York Mets to succeed this season and those led by Buck Showalter are still looking for the formula to get out of the crisis.
Set to be one of the teams to beat in the majors this season, the Queens are making some moves to change the face of the lineup with their minor leaguers.
But soon they will have to make other decisions. Venezuelan Eduardo Escobar has been walking a tightrope since the start of the season, but he’s not the only one leaving the Mets in the coming weeks.
The Mets brought in Vogelbach from Pittsburgh in a trade midway through last season with the intention of having him assume the DH role and become an ally of Pete Alonso in offensive production. But the beefy left-handed hitter has been beholden to the New York organization and in 2023 his line is .236/.370/.348 with just 2 home runs, 4 doubles and 13 RBIs. With the organization’s promises to ask for space, Vogelbach will be left without space.
