NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The Mets have added pieces to the puzzle, but many fans are upset the team hasn’t been in the running for the big name free agents, specifically Bryce Harper.
Harper is the biggest free agent on the market. He’s a former Rookie of the Year, a six-time All-Star and he’s only 26 years old. He has already won an MVP, doing so with the Washington Nationals in 2015.
The leading contender to land him is reportedly an NL East rival, the Philadelphia Phillies. Right now, the Mets are not in contention, CBS2’s Steve Overmyer reported Wednesday.
