Could Jackson Cluff Be the Mets’ Hidden Gem This Season?

Here’s the scoop that caught my eye — the Mets have just inked Jackson Cluff to a minor league contract, and here’s the kicker: he’s snagged an invite to big league spring training. Now, Cluff is 28, and last season? He was all over the infield for the Nationals’ Triple-A squad — covering shortstop, second, third, and yes, even first base. Most of his starts came at shortstop, chalking up 71 games there, with 16 at second and six at third. Over six years grinding it out in the minors, his slash line reads .219/.324/.363, peppered with 42 homers, 75 doubles, 15 triples, plus 86 stolen bases across 498 games. This kind of versatile glove work paired with some pop and speed might just make him a sneaky depth piece for the Mets this spring. You can bet I’ll be watching how he performs when camp kicks off.
