Part 8/9:

Starling Marte, once considered part of a possible trade-off, may also serve as an alternative as the Mets scour the market for a reliable DH. Given the existing talent and contracts on the roster, the choice between securing a new bat or reallocating resources to reinforce the bullpen seems to be a prominent theme in current negotiations.

Future Outlook and Conclusion

As fans await more concrete developments, the Mets seem poised to finalize critical offseason decisions, particularly concerning Pete Alonzo and the complete construction of their lineup. While a lot remains uncertain, David Sterns’ operational strategies and duration of contracts will dictate how the Mets proceed in a competitive National League.
