He was the team's minor league player of the year in 2021 and showed some solid offensive skills in his rookie season.

While that year may seem arbitrary to almost every other fanbase, and the Texas Rangers fondly remember the show Josh Hamilton put on, it was the year of Justin Morneau.

	If you missed it, Mets owner Steve Cohen hosted a unique, and somewhat strange&#xA0;press conference in which he processed his team&#x2019;s weak play with a shrug while admitting that he&#x2019;s willing to deal pieces to gain prospects.
