The Mets acquired Cedric Mullins, affecting team dynamics, particularly for centerfielder Tyrone Taylor. Taylor expressed excitement about Mullins joining, acknowledging it as an upgrade for the team. He stated his conversation with manager Carlos Mendoza was brief, and Mendoza informed him he would play less often, mainly against left-handed pitchers. Manager Mendoza plans to continue utilizing both Taylor and Jeff McNeil in centerfield, adapting player roles to meet team needs as the season advances.
I was excited for the team. It's a definite upgrade for us. I think it'll be good. I just get ready to play every day, and whenever my name is called, go out there and do my best.
Carlos Mendoza stated that they will continue to use both Taylor and Jeff McNeil in center, providing flexibility across various positions as needed.
Mendoza noted, 'They're up for whatever we need as a team.' He emphasized getting players accustomed to changes as the season progresses.
Mendoza already knows that Taylor will be alright with the decreased playing time and assured him to be ready against lefties.
