PriyaPatelTLDR: The New York Mets may have to rely on Brett Baty and Mark Vientos at third base this season if they don’t find an outside option. Last season, Baty finished with a WAR of -0.5, the worst among third basemen with at least 350 plate appearances. Vientos had a WAR of -0.9, with only two players performing worse. However, there is hope that Baty can improve, as he showed improvement at multiple minor league levels in his career. The Mets have been linked to former Yankee Gio Urshela as a potential option, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
