The Mets have no shortage of third-base options, but do they have a third baseman?

It’s a question that last year at this time wasn’t as troubling, with Mark Vientos’ ascent among the season’s significant storylines. Vientos played the position almost every day and helped carry the lineup all the way to Game 6 of the NLCS.

But Vientos has been among this season’s biggest disappointments, leading to what has become an open competition for playing time at the position.

Ronny Mauricio and Brett Baty have mostly shared third base with Vientos lately shuffled to DH — where injuries to Starling Marte and Jesse Winker have improved his chances for playing time.
