Mark Vientos' Promotion to Mets Raises Questions About Prospects and Trades.

The New York Mets have optioned Luis Guillorme to Triple-A Syracuse to make room for the call-up of slugger Mark Vientos. Guillorme, known for his slick fielding, has struggled at the plate this season. The move allows the Mets to avoid cutting a veteran player with no minor league options. However, it also sacrifices defense and flexibility for power, as Vientos and Vogelbach have no true position in the field. The Mets hope Vientos' strong performance in Triple-A will translate to the big leagues and help improve their offense.

The New York Mets have optioned utility infielder Luis Guillorme to Triple-A Syracuse to make room for slugger Mark Vientos, who has been tearing it up in Syracuse. While Guillorme's defensive ability and versatility will be missed, the Mets are in desperate need of offense and Vientos' bat should provide an immediate boost. Vientos figures to plug-in immediately in a DH role and may move Daniel Vogelbach to a bench role. The Mets may not be done yet with their call-ups as they attempt to claw back up the standings.
