Part 2/7:

As the Mets navigate this offseason, adding to their lineup has emerged as a top priority. While they have notable talent already, including Francisco Lindor and the newly acquired Juan Soto, the team believes that reinforcing their batting depth will provide them with a greater advantage. Besides Hernández, the Mets are also looking into names such as Anthony Santander and Alex Bregman, with intentions to re-sign Pete Alonso, who has drawn interest from the San Francisco Giants.
