In Philadelphia, several players acquired by the Mets in 2023 trades, including Drew Gilbert and Luisangel Acuña, are struggling in their respective teams. Ryan Clifford, a notable prospect, represented the Mets at the All-Star Futures Game, showcasing his power despite a high strikeout rate and a .196 batting average this season. After a challenging June, he is attempting to adjust his swing for better performance. With only limited time left in the season, there are hopes that Clifford can salvage value from the Mets’ recent trades.
