The New York Mets are taking a flier on a veteran outfielder who played postseason hero for their division rivals, but has recently fallen on hard times.
The National League East arms race reached a fever pitch this summer. Three teams were separated by eight games atop the division as the July 30 trade deadline came and went. Three teams are separated by 8.5 games as of Thursday.With both the New York Mets and the Atlanta Braves attempting to chase down the Philadelphia Phillies — and at least clinch a Wild Card berth if they can't — it is no small matter when a player recently cut by the Braves joins the Mets.
He spent half of the 2021 season with Cleveland prior to the trade to Atlanta. The highlight of his career came that October.In the 2021 NLCS against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Rosario slashed .560/.607/1.040 with three home runs and an OPS of 1.647 in six games. He won the 2021 NLCS Most Valuable Player award.This past offseason, he signed with the Nationals on a one-year deal but he slashed .183/.226/.329 before being placed on waivers.
