As the New York Mets look to continue building their roster for 2020, it would be in their best interest to scour the remaining 2020 free agent list in search for low-end type players that not only fill a need but can also be signed to either minimal short term major league or minor league with an invitation to Spring Training contracts.
As we saw with the 2019 New York Yankees, multiple injuries do happen and at times seems to be contagious. So it helps to be prepared for injuries by not just developing players already part of your minor league system, but to also have major league ready veteran talent stashed away at AAA or extended spring training that would be ready to step in when injuries do occur.
