Mets' Third Base Plans in Flux After Mauricio's ACL Injury

Vientos, Baty, and Wendle to Compete for Position as Team Revisits Depth

Mets' third base prospect Ronny Mauricio has torn his ACL while playing in the Dominican Winter League, causing uncertainty about the team's plans for the position next season.
Mark Vientos, another prospect for the third base position, has been training with Francisco Lindor and is hopeful about his improvements this offseason.
Brett Baty, another potential third base candidate, had a disappointing rookie season but is expected to compete for the position in the spring.
Veteran Joey Wendle, who was signed by the Mets this offseason, is also in the mix for the third base position.
Mets' manager Carlos Mendoza remains optimistic about the team's depth despite Mauricio's injury.
