Part 3/6:
With Alonzo potentially out of the picture, the Mets are left to consider their options at first base. They might look to external trades, such as acquiring Vladimir Guerrero Jr., or opt for internal adjustments. One option could involve moving Mark Vientos to first base and utilizing Ronnie Mauricio at third base. Alternatively, the Mets could also pursue free-agent third baseman Alex Bregman, or even make a bold trade for someone like Nolan Arenado—though such a move may not garner much enthusiasm among fans.
Moreover, there’s also the option to sign players like Anthony Santander as a potential fit at first base. Santander, known for his flexibility, could be willing to take a short-term deal, allowing the Mets to still keep Vientos at third base.
