The Mets have spent close to $500 million in free agency so far this offseason. They’ve spent the majority of this past week introducing (or re-introducing) those players to the media. While that’s all been happening, though, we know they’re still on the hunt for more offense. A player who appears to be front and center is their old friend, Michael Conforto.
He came up in conversation as a potential Plan B in case the Mets didn’t re-sign Brandon Nimmo, which I wasn’t a fan of. But now that Nimmo is back, New York pursuing Conforto as someone who can grab at-bats as an outfielder and designated hitter sounds better to me.
