The Mets have added outfielder Jose Siri, known for his elite defensive skills and speed, despite concerns about his batting. Acquired from the Rays for Eric Orze, Siri has excelled in the playoffs with the Astros and Rays but posted a poor .187 batting average last season. He aims to improve his plate discipline in his new role with the Mets, who have a strong offensive lineup, hoping to contribute significantly defensively and on the base paths while enhancing his contact rate.
"There is always something that is going to happen when he's involved. Whether it's stealing a base, running into the wall, making a play, he is always doing something to impact the game one way or another."
"I thought about it: [New York] is a big city, it's a great team, and then I started thinking about the opportunities that I would be able to have."
"He wants to make more contact. He wants to improve his plate discipline."
