Adrian Gonzalez Released By The Mets
7 years agoThe New York Mets have released first baseman Adrian Gonzalez. He was mired in a 1-for-19 slump which had brought his batting average down to .237. Gonzalez is in the last year of his huge seven-year deal and had given the Mets six home runs with 26 RBI. Gonzalez used to be a fairly reliable and significant fantasy option but his skills seem to have diminished, perhaps due to being 36 years-old. The Mets will call up prospect Dominic Smith who is likely the future plan for the position. Jay Bruce will likely also play the position. Gonzalez will need to go to a great situation in order to redeem his value outside of deep leagues or league-specific formats.
