Mets could designate Tyrone Taylor for assignment soon
Summary

The New York Mets are planning to reshape their outfield, with reports suggesting Tyrone Taylor may soon be designated for assignment. Carson Benge and A.J. Ewing have emerged as key players, while Luis Robert Jr. is projected to return from injury. Taylor's recent performance has declined, posting a.530 OPS this season following a.598 OPS in 2025, and he is currently sidelined with a hip flexor strain. Removing Taylor could allow the Mets to utilize his roster spot more effectively. Historically, Taylor was a promising prospect but has not met expectations, leaving his future uncertain if the Mets proceed with the move.
