The Mets roster is missing a fourth outfielder right now. Last season, manager Buck Showalter enjoyed the ability to get a player off their feet for a day by rotating in a defense-first outfielder. The first half of the 2022 season saw outfielder Travis Jankowski appear in 43 games with 17 starts. The Mets used Ender Inciarte as a defensive replacement in 11 games. Trade deadline acquisition...

After an abrupt and anticlimactic end to their 2022 season, the New York Mets now face an important offseason in which many key contributors will reach free agency. Owner Steve Cohen’s pockets are deep, but it’s going to be a tough task for the team to keep up at their current pace without payroll going up rather significantly, which also makes things tougher on Billy Eppler and...
