The Chicago Cubs were the recent winners of the Alex Bregman sweepstakes, one the New York Mets sat out in two consecutive offseasons. Bregman always seemed like a good match for the Mets. A solid all-around player who’ll hit in the middle of the order and play great defense at third base, the Mets appear to have chosen to stick with Brett Baty at the hot corner moving forward.
We can’t really blame them. They’ve invested a lot of time and effort into Baty. He’s far less costly and with him as a solution at third base, they can turn their attention elsewhere.
