Bo Bichette’s recent signing with the Mets for three years and $126MM leaves the team still seeking rotation help and a versatile outfielder, with Cody Bellinger as a primary target. Bellinger, aiming for a longer contract than the Mets’ preference for shorter deals, is coming off a strong season, while options like Harrison Bader and possible trade targets include Jake Meyers and Luis Robert Jr. The Mets might also consider pitchers MacKenzie Gore and Kris Bubic for trades, with interest in free agents like Framber Valdez or Zac Gallen. Overall, the Mets are exploring both free agency and trades to bolster their roster amidst ongoing negotiations and health uncertainties.
