LIMBO: What's Next for Brett Baty: Super Utility Role, or Traded for ANOTHER New Star?

New York Mets shake up their infield as Bo Bichette’s arrival throws Brett Baty’s future into question.

Could Baty’s role shift from starting third baseman to super utility, first base, or even left field—or will he become the centerpiece in a blockbuster trade?

Ryan Finkelstein explores Baty’s journey, breakout performance, and versatility on defense, weighing his value to contending teams like the Brewers or Red Sox.

Insightful analysis covers Mark Vientos’ trade outlook, prospects Jacob Reimer and Jet Williams, and the potential impact of landing Freddie Peralta or Jarren Duran.

As Baty’s playing time and positional fit remain uncertain amidst the Mets’ roster logjam and Bichette’s contract details, fans are left wondering: Will Baty help anchor the Mets for the next four years, or headline an offseason deal that reshapes the roster for a championship push?
