Yeah, I think Bench was somebody they absolutely did not want to trade because they view him again as like a potential above average center fielder, whereas Jet Williams was somebody and he's honestly and plenty of people said this, but it was my initial thought as well.

Jet Williams is a perfect brewer, right?

He's somebody who can move between shortstop, second base and center field.

He's short.

He's five foot seven, but he's also incredibly fast.

He lives up to his first name.

The Brewers just love those guys, right?

Like, Caleb Durbin fit that mold really, really well.

Bryce Terang fits that mold really, really well.

Joey Ortiz is a defense-first guy, and it almost makes me wonder, like, Jet Williams has a better all-around hit tool and power.

Does he end up knocking Joey Ortiz off shortstop, even if I think he's a better fit at second or center?

But they just love these guys who they can plug in in multiple spots and be like, hey, we'll figure it out.

We just want the options.

That's how we build a really good team.

Carson Bench, not that I think if they got Carson Bench, that would have been a huge boon for them.

But...

I think what the Mets are banking on here with Benj, and it's the same story with McLean.

They both came out of Oklahoma State.

They were both two-way guys.

Now they're focused on one thing.
