Nope, It'll be a lefty bat. The options are many, but all undistinguished.
Between Davis and Vientos, there is only one roster spot available. As long as management believes Davis > Vientos, as they apparently do, then there is no room for Vientos.
Barring further injuries, can anyone envision a scenario where there are both on a 26 man roster? Note this could change in September.

Hopefully he is serving as a placeholder until they can acquire a proven major league hitter.
A clarification on Chris Bassitt, from my prior note.
It is true that he and the Mets have a mutual option on his services next year, for $19M. However, I was mistaken on what the term "mutual option" meant. I thought it meant that EITHER party could execute the option. It actually means that BOTH parties must execute the option. There is virtually no chance of that happening. So for all practical purposes, Bassitt is a free agent next year.
Mets starting rotation could undergo a lot of change next year. Scherzer, Peterson, and Megill could be the only holdovers. DeGrom, Bassitt, Walker, and Williams are all likely free agents, and Carrasco is a maybe.
Good news, bad news- bad news first- all very likely but the good news is...we have the owner now that will do everything not to be outbid if he wants to keep a player- most likely would fall on the player to make the move and not like the Wheeler deal where he most likely wanted to stay but our ownership were dicks.
And except for a healthy deGrom, if any of these guys don't sign- Owner will do anything possible to replace them with same or better.
Question on the mutual option- if the Met's exercise it but player doesn't, is that the same and making a QO?
Don't know, but I do know that the concept of the qualifying offer may or may not be eliminated, and we should know in three days.
Back during the lockout, one of the items under negotiation was the implementation of an international draft. The parties agreed to punt on this. They set a deadline of July 25 (three days from now) to develop a mutually agreeable protocol. The owners want it. As a quid pro quo, they have offered the elimination of the QO. That would obviously make free agency more valuable, as the signing team would not be punished by losing a draft pick.
So we'll see.
I understand wanting his platoon bat but giving up a solid rookie RP for him seems like an overpay. Holderman has been one of the pen bright spots.
Can’t have enough bullpen help…
It’s not like this guy is Juan Soto or even Juan Encarnacion
More like Juan More round at the Buffet
Makes me look thin 😳

And Holderman is not Mariano Rivera either. Go find him on the Mets top prospects lists. You won't. Because he ain't. He could have been way underrated. Or not. I am not sure Holderman is better than Lopez, Medina, or Nogosek, all of whom are waiting in the wings.
Up until now, he was doing a pretty good job in his limited time:
G. Record. ERA. Innings. K. WHIP
| 15 | 4-0 | 2.04 | 17.2 | 18 | 1.02 |
For a .230 hitter? 🤦🏻♂️
Not sure who is in the area but if you’re interested in the future…the Jersey Shore BlueClaws start a 3 game home stand tonight with the Mets High A Brooklyn Cyclones.
Also have a 6 game set with them in late August.

Doing OK. Biggest problem is the Braves were unbeatable for a stretch so now we’ll have to sweat out the next few months.
I guess Josh Bell is not a get for the Mets now that Vogelbach is here.
