Report: Mets Interested In Tribe Second Baseman Jason Kipnis

It was a tough 2017 season for Jason Kipnis, the everyday starter at second base for the Cleveland Indians. The 30-year-old missed seventy-two games this past season due to nagging leg injuries which ultimately derailed his season. Kipnis had his worst year at the plate, batting a shoddy .232 at the dish in 378 plate appearances.

That, along with the evergrowing star that is Jose Ramirez, has essentially made Kipnis expendable. And right now, it appears there might be a buyer.

That’s right, the New York Mets have reportedly expressed interest in the seven-year veteran. After trading away Neil Walker last season and wondering about the status of Jose Reyes, the Mets are currently without a middle infielder and would really need a veteran presence in that spot. Kipnis would fill that role.

In return, look for the Indians to acquire a reliever or a prospect from New York.
