Mets Rumors: Not much interest in Shogo Akiyama, more in Matt Szczur

New York Mets rumors are beginning to take form with general managers meeting out west and whispers hitting the ears of beat writers. From the latest Mets rumors to reach the public, the team is showing serious signs of their desire to add a center fielder.

It’s the “who” which remains a little more mysterious. According to Mike Puma of the NY Post, they want someone who can field the position better than Brandon Nimmo who hits right-handed. Shortstop Amed Rosario no longer looks like an option—understandably so. Rosario made great strides at the plate last season and improved on his defense over the course of 162.
