Part 6/7:
As it stands, jackal opportunities for the Mets are limited. Not only has the signing of Profar by the Braves shaken up the competition, but Alonzo’s potential departure could leave a significant void at first base. Fans should be concerned about the Mets' strategy going forward. Should the team decide to remain in-house by relying on less proven options, it could hinder their competitiveness in an already challenging division.
The Mets also need to think long-term about their lineup and how they can fill gaps left by players like Alonzo, should he leave. In today’s league, having consistent offensive output is crucial for success, and the pressure will be on general manager David Stearns to make the right moves.
