Part 4/5:
As the Mets evaluate their options, it's clear that the team's preferences for player positioning will significantly influence their decisions. While the Mets have expressed a preference for Jeff McNeil as an infield player, they recognize the potential of utilizing him as an outfielder when necessary. This flexibility enables the Mets to range widely in their player acquisitions, leaving avenues open for not just cost-effective utilities but also for significant moves in pitching with talents like Corbin Burns and Max Fried becoming part of the conversation.
