Nick isn't so much a signing as a re-signing. He has been in the Mets ogainziation his whole (brief) career, before getting the kick on April 1.
Mets hung on to his number, though.
Say what you want, Gary. I remember Johneshwy and Kahlil in the same game. The Mets had a cascade of injuries to their hitters — particularly their outfielders — and were so desperate that they had James McCann at first and Tomas Nido at catcher in order to improve their offense, and they were batting those two guys third and fourth.
They eventually added a previously obscure outfielder named Billy McSkinney — who became the Mets' bets hitter for a few weeks until guys started returning from injuries.
I'll take that walk and double anyhow.
Also, wearing down the starter and chasing him early in Game #1 of a series is, like, the third commandment of Edgyball.
