Mets Add Infielder Wagaman to Shore Up Infield

0:00On April 28th, Mets' shortstop Francisco Lindor is sidelined with a calf strain, so the team grab infielder Eric Wageman off waivers from the teamer. Minnesota twins to shore up the infield. This comes right after they shuffled the outfield yesterday, sending Tommy fam out and bringing in Austin Slater, which left room on the roster. Without needing another move. Wageman, a 28-year-old drafted by the Yankees back in 2017, finally stuck in the majors last year with the Marlins after. Bouncing around, his average stats led to a trade to Minnesota, where he struggled in AAA, making him available now. The Mets' infield has been a mess all season, with impulsive moves like signing Boba-Shet to play third despite no experience there, shuffling Brett, baiting everywhere, and injuries to guys like Jorge Polanco. Second Basement Marcus Semyon's been steady on defense, but we get the plate, leaving the team 10 games under 500. Wageman gets a shot to contribute offensively, where the infield's been quiet, plus he's cheap insurance under team control for three more years, as the Mets keep patching holes to stay in the fight.
