Imo the Mets did exactly what they said they would do. They used the whole spring to evaluate Vientos and determined that he isn’t the guy for the job. He had every opportunity to show that he is a major league hitter and he failed to convince team brass. The Mets always have said they expect to be competitive this year and this move is a great step in that direction at a low cost/risk. Vientos may still develop but not at the risk of the big club.
