Part 2/8:
Recent reports have linked the Mets to outfielder Alex Verdugo, a former Yankee. According to Chris Costillo, the beat writer for Massachusetts Live and the Boston Red Sox, the Mets are one of several teams eyeing Verdugo, alongside the Pittsburgh Pirates and Toronto Blue Jays. Despite a lackluster performance during his time with the Yankees, Verdugo remains an attractive option due to his previous success with the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Red Sox.
