5. De Aza Will Be Traded
Alejandro de Aza will be traded in the middle of March. Before the Wilpon’s forked over the cash and resigned Yoenis Cespedes, the Mets big move in the offseason was the $7 million signing of de Aza, an average at best batter who can’t play centerfield.
It confused many when we signed him to create a righty/lefty platoon with Juan Lagares in the very outfield position he cannot man. Now? De Aza is a trade chip, and Sandy “the Maverick” Alderson will certainly be looking to move him for a more useful asset.
