Dear Mets, Neil Walker is still available

In a rather shocking turn of events, Mike Moustakas has signed to a meager one-year, $6.5 million deal with the Royals. Moustakas was one of the top position players available in free agency this winter and probably the best third baseman available. At the beginning of the offseason, MLB Trade Rumors predicted a five-year, $85 million contract for the 29-year-old—far out of the Mets’ price range, many speculated. And yet, here we are on March 9th and he has just signed for less money than Todd Frazier or Jay Bruce.
