Mets Shuffle Infield, Bichette Tries Shortstop

0:00New York Met's story is making news on March 20th. The New York Met's made their first roster move of spring training by optioning infielder Ronnie Mauricio to triple-A Syracuse. Reports say this opens the door for third baseman Boba Shet to try out a shortstop behind Francisco Lindor. Meanwhile, the Shet spent most of his career a shortstop with the Toronto Blue Jays before they shifted him to second base. The Met's hope he can handle back up duties there while keeping his main spot at third. Fans and analysts are scratching their heads over Mauricio, who filled in solidly for Lindor during his injury, but now seems out of the picture. Why not trade him? The same goes for Mark Vientos, who struggled at the plate this spring, yet remains on the roster. Right now, the infield looks like a puzzle with missing pieces, as the team juggles options without a clear backup shortstop. They might lean on other players for insurance early in the season. Expect more moves soon to sort this out. As the Met's aim to steady their lineup before opening day.
