DAIYLY NEWS: The New York Mets prompting speculation about J.D. Davis…
The New York Mets have been exploring the idea of adding a right-handed batter capable of playing some third base since Ronny Mauricio suffered a torn ACL in December. Despite this, they have yet to acquire someone fitting that description, prompting speculation about a potential reunion with J.D. Davis.
Sources within the league have confirmed discussions between the Mets and Davis. While his inclusion would make sense in terms of roster composition, it also raises questions about the team’s young internal options for third base.
Insiders familiar with the Mets’ perspective stated that while they are exploring various options, they do not consider any addition to be crucial at this point.
As of Tuesday night, talks between the Mets and Davis had not progressed to a serious stage, according to league sources. It remains unclear when Davis will make a decision on his next team, but the process is expected to be relatively swift. Several teams have reportedly shown interest in Davis since his release by the San Francisco Giants, which resulted in him receiving $1.1 million in termination pay instead of his $6.9 million salary.
