Jeff McNeil Returns to Face Mets, A's Heating Up

0:00On April 8th, Jeff McNeill spent seven years grinding with the Mets, dodging trade rumors left and right, but this offseason he finally got shipped out. To the Oakland Athletics, as part of a big front office reset, the Mets decided to overhaul their core, sending several long-time bets packing, which flipped the roster upside down heading into the new season. McNeill called it a wild shake-up when he spoke Tuesday in the Bronx, saying, that's just how the organization wanted to roll, and while it stung seeing. So many familiar faces gone, it is what it is. Now he's circling the calendar for this weekend's trip to City Field, where the A's will face his old squad expect some real emotion when he steps. Back into that park after spotting the series right after the trade. The A's are kicking off rough in the AL-West basement, with three losses in their first 10 games, but McNeill's heating up at the plate, banging out. It's in four straight after a slow one for 13 start, and he's primed to swing for the fences against the Mets. That's your New York Mets News today update.
