Luisangel Acuña aims for Mets' Opening Day roster spot

Luisangel Acuña is competing for a spot on the New York Mets' Opening Day roster after a successful stint last September. He feels more confident this year, having gained experience and familiarity with the team. Due to an injury to Jeff McNeil, Acuña now has a better chance to secure a position. He is competing for one of two available spots, alongside Brett Baty and others, and has shown improvement in recent games. Acuña's defensive skills are highly regarded, and he has more experience at second base than Baty. Despite a slow start offensively, he has recently improved his hitting, which could influence the Mets' decision on his role.
