Somehow, despite being a decent left-handed hitter, the New York Mets haven’t shown a hint of faith in Ronny Mauricio. With Jeff McNeil also needing regular playing time and Cedric Mullins around, Mauricio has been more of a left-handed bat available off the bench often going unused. Ronny Mauricio has been iced by the Mets for almost two weeksThe last time Mauricio started a game was on August 24. The thought of putting him in the minor leagues to keep him playing isn’t as important to them as it is to keep his final minor league option. At the very least, he’s their top minor league trade chip they apparently didn't feel should get moved a few weeks ago when they had the opportunity.
