Ronny Mauricio

New York's infield mix got a bit more crowded when they acquired veteran second baseman Marcus Semien in a trade with the Rangers last month. Baty split time across several spots last year, making 87 appearances at the hot corner and 57 at the keystone. It sounds like he'll get the nod over other in-house alternatives like Ronny Mauricio and Luisangel Acuna at third base heading into camp after hitting .291 with nine homers and 30 RBI in 55 games after the All-Star break to close last season.

Playing in his first winter ball since injuring his knee in 2023, Mets infielder Ronny Mauricio hit a homer on Friday night for Tigres del Licey.
