d’Arnaud is a faster runner than you’d expect, which is why left field is even kinda sorta an option. I don’t see it happening, though.
jnuce
problem is an average to below average left fielder with 15-20 homers and 70-80 rbi is not good enough. I’m tired of putting players out of position.

Those numbers would be nothing to scoff at, considering he’ll be pretty cheap for the next few years. But he’s a catcher who should stay at his position. If he breaks, he breaks.
Derpy
Those offensive numbers would be a pretty high end offensive left fielder.

In what era?

That would be a border-line all-star in todays game.

Actually… looking around the majors… despite Hundley, Piazza,
Hojo… this is what you do when you have a dearth of young talent.
Plawecki seems to be the better defensive catcher and TDA the better
(more flexible) athlete from top to bottom. St Louis comes to mind the
most… they play guys all over the diamond when their bats are ready
and they’re blocked at their primary position. They did that for Pujols
in 2001 as he played 1B/3B/OF- Milwaukee did that with Braun- Biggio
played OF & 2B in Houston plus many many more examples around the
majors… hey… the Cubs likely *WILL* do that with their abundance of
SS talent. While spinning our wheels on another 74 wins I say “hey why
not!?!?”

Marcus Semien for Zack Wheeler?

Why would the Mets do that trade?
JordanSwingman
Better defense, more flexibility, younger player. He is almost Major League ready as well. If the White Sox would accept a deal like this it would be a very solid one for the Mets.

Because Zack Wheeler is getting old?
I’m pretty sure the White Sox would accept this sort of deal, but I’m even more sure the Mets would laugh at the idea.
JordanSwingman
Oops, though it was Murphy for Siemen. Gotta read more carefully!

Nice try, White Sox fan.

If the Mets move d’Arnaud to left field. Then they should go hard after Russel Martin.
