Meneses so far hasn't been a disaster at 1st and is beginning to put some space between his offense and that of Gallo. Not saying JM is hitting for power like you'd want from a 1st baseman, but he had a decent homestand for contact. I would not have targeted Gallo in the offseason, but I bought into the idea that he could be helpful once he was signed. I had hoped for career level offense, not peak Gallo, but he's taken a step back even from his 2022-23 decline. He's deadman walking without more power results and a cut back to even 35 K%
I'm not convinced that Menses is in fact separating himself from Gallo offensively.
GalloOPS: .627
wRC+: 84
MenesesOPS: .621
wRC+: 78
Gallo is also average or plus with the glove while Menses is a negative.
