Part 2/7:
The prevailing view suggests that starting Mauricio in Triple-A might be the best course of action due to the depth of talent on the current roster. With established players like Pete Alonzo likely returning to first base, and the infield solidified by Jeff McNeil, Mark Vientos, and Francisco Lindor, Mauricio may struggle for at-bats at the major league level. Therefore, a return to the minors is seen as an opportunity for him to refine his skills and gain valuable experience.
