The Mets acquired Jose Siri to enhance their center field with his defensive skills and offensive potential. Although Siri had a subpar batting average of .187 last season, he has displayed power during the spring, hitting three home runs in the early Grapefruit League games. Manager Carlos Mendoza remains hopeful that with better plate discipline, Siri can become a more effective hitter, particularly with strong hitters backing him up in the lineup. The Mets traded relief prospect Eric Orze to Tampa Bay for Siri, filling the gap left by Harrison Bader's departure.
The Mets traded for Jose Siri primarily because he plays an excellent center field.
