Part 6/7:
The Alternative Solution: Trading for Tristan Casas
Should the Mets ultimately decide to part ways with Alonzo, an intriguing possibility emerges regarding a trade with the Boston Red Sox for Tristan Casas. The young first baseman presents a cost-effective alternative with years of contractual control remaining. Casas has already demonstrated potential, and coupled with his affordability, he could fit well into the Mets' long-term plans.
This potential trade would also involve taking on the contract of Masataka Yoshida, which could pose a financial disadvantage. However, combining both players could ultimately enhance team value despite some complexities involved.
