A few days ago Bader expressed to the media his anger at his little playing time so far this season, since then he has been able to take advantage of situations and has played more often, making it clear that he deserves to appear more times in the lineup, registering a solid offensive line in his last 7 games of .367/.391/.591 with 8 hits, 2 runs scored, 7 strikeouts and 2 walks.
Bader, who signed for one year with the New York Mets, would be a trade chip for the team if, in any case, they decide to continue competing as long as they are in a good position ahead of the trade deadline.
