The New York Mets have an amazing offensive core, with Jeff McNeil, Pete Alonso, Andres Gimenez, Amed Rosario, Dominic Smith, Brandon Nimmo, JD Davis, James McCann, and Michael Conforto.
Conforto, who had the best season of his life in 2020, has one season left of arbitration, which is 2021. After that, he is scheduled to hit the free agent market, and the Mets certainly want to avoid that last scenario.
His .322 ./412/.515 line and the 157 wRC+ he put in 54 games made him not only one of the most productive Mets in 2020, but also one of the best offensive performers in the National League.
