Part 3/7:
In the event that the Mets decide to move on from Alonzo, Spencer Torkelson could emerge as an intriguing alternative. Torkelson, once a top draft pick for the Tigers, offers intriguing potential at just 25 years of age. Despite a challenging season due to injury setbacks, Torkelson demonstrated his power-hitting capabilities during a previous season, contributing over 30 home runs and 90 RBIs, even in a struggling Detroit lineup.
Torkelson’s controllable status and offensive upside could make him a valuable asset for the Mets, especially considering they wouldn’t have to part with significant pitching prospects to acquire him. This trade could perfectly align with the franchise's strategy to balance immediate competitive needs with long-term potential.
