Mets’ Carson Benge named Rookie of the Year finalist after missing out on Gold Glove

Carson Benge earned recognition as a National League Rookie of the Year finalist, joining peers Sal Stewart and JJ Wetherholt in contention following a stellar campaign where he recorded twenty home runs, sixty-five runs batted in, and ten outfield assists. Although missing out on a Gold Glove to Corbin Carroll, the twenty-three-year-old outfielder now aims to join a historical franchise list that features previous club winners like Tom Seaver, Jon Matlack, Darryl Strawberry, Dwight Gooden, Jacob deGrom, and Pete Alonso.

Meanwhile, the organization adjusted its roster depth by claiming right-handers Jack Anderson and Pierson Ohl off waivers, securing major league contracts for Christian Cairo and Kyren Paris while designating them for assignment, and welcoming back returning players Reed Garrett, Tylor Megill, and Jorge Polanco from the injured list following moves overseen by senior adviser Derek Falvey.
