Mets Interested In Asdrubal Cabrera
3 years agoThe New York Mets have been scouting Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Asdrubal Cabrera, who would be a pure rental for New York after he signed a one-year, $1.75 million deal with Arizona last winter. The last-place Diamondbacks are clearly sellers at this year's trade deadline and are willing to move almost anybody on their roster. Cabrera was productive in his time with the Mets from 2016 to 2018, and the 35-year-old veteran is hitting .251/.346/.404 with five home runs and 28 RBI in 214 plate appearances in 2021. His career-high 12.2 percent walk rate makes him valuable in deeper leagues that count on-base percentage, but he's making a lot of weak contact and would mostly just serve as infield depth if he returned to New York. The Mets also have Jonathan Villar and J.D. Davis as third base options.
