The Mets have targeted the keystone as a point of interest to improve upon this offseason. However, the free agent market for the position doesn’t yield any sexy names. New York could potentially reunite with Neil Walker, but that ship seems to have sailed. Eduardo Nunez has played second in the past, but figures to spend more time at the hot corner going forward. Beyond that, the only...
Yesterday Rob Piersall took a look at whether Jason Kipnis could be a trade target for the Mets this offseason. Today we pose the question of whether or not Eduardo Nunez would be a good free agent signing for the Mets. Unlike Kipnis, the Mets would only have to pay Nunez instead of paying him and giving up prospects. However, as Mets fans know, the team will not be spending a large amount of...

Brandon Nimmo and T.J. Rivera both entered their sophomore seasons with the Mets in 2017. Neither were considered key players for 2017 nor were they guaranteed a large chunk of playing time. Both made an impact with the team, however. The question is: whose 2017 season was more impressive? Before going about answering this, it must be considered whether or not this is a fair question. Is it...

The New York Mets have been utterly devastated by injuries this year. While there are few positives to the injury bug, one of them is that it has given T.J. Rivera another chance to play everyday. Given Rivera’s success last season, he probably shouldn’t have had to wait so long for his second chance, but once the club re-signed Neil Walker, it was Rivera who was left without a clear role. In...
