New York Mets’ free agency patience sparks debate: Will waiting pay off or backfire as key targets like Ryan O’Hearn, Wilson Contreras, and Munetaka Murakami land elsewhere?
Cody Bellinger and Kyle Tucker loom as game-changing options, but the front office’s cautious strategy leaves fans questioning if enough talent will be added to compete.
Ryan Finkelstein analyzes the ripple effects of recent roster moves, including the impact of Jorge Polanco and the potential fit of free agent Austin Hayes.
Are the Mets banking on young prospects like Mark Vientos and Jett Williams to fill the gaps, or is a blockbuster deal still on the horizon?
Key topics include the state of the outfield, missed opportunities at first base, and whether Mets’ restraint will result in a stronger team or another disappointing offseason.
