Part 7/9:
Beyond the focus on these marquee players, it's worth noting the diverse pool of talent available in the market this offseason, primarily represented by Scott Boras. Figures like Corbin Burnes and Alex Bregman remain in discussions, although it appears the Mets may not be pursuing these specific players. However, trading possibilities could emerge from prospects in the Mets' system, creating pathways for adding those significant contributors who can align with the team's vision.
Cody Bellinger could serve as a fascinating alternate option should the Mets not re-sign Alonso. His versatility and proven bat might help the Mets transition into a formidable offensive team, especially if the duo of Soto and Alonso overlaps with Bellinger.
