Part 3/7:
The Mets are in pursuit of pitchers who can bolster their rotation without committing to long-term contracts, especially given their interest in other high-profile players like Corbin Burnes. Snell, at just 31 years of age, fits perfectly into this strategy, offering a potential two to four-year contract with options based on performance metrics.
Additionally, his lack of a qualifying offer—a factor that hindered him last offseason—means he could be a more manageable and attractive acquisition for the Mets. With financial flexibility and a growing need for starting pitching, the Mets could be well-positioned to pursue Snell if they believe there’s mutual interest.
