Mets Eye LeMahieu for Infield Boost

0:00On April 5th, the New York Metz kicked off the 2026 season with some bumps, but sit at five wins and four losses, hanging second to last. In the National League East, despite packing star power, they crave infield depth, and one prediction has them grabbing former three-time All-Star DJ.

Fans see it as prime rivalry fuel, especially with Brad Bady holding down designated hitter and the infield-feeling fin. Lamahue's 2025 line in 45 games was 0.266-slashing 0.338-0.336-0.67.

1:07Four with three doubles, two homers, and twelve RBI's. He advances runners without chasing power, fitting the Metz offense perfectly.
