Recently, Washington Nationals owner Mark Lerner made it pretty clear that Bryce Harper will not be re-signing with the team. Additionally, rumors are swirling that Harper is not sold on the Philadelphia Phillies, one of his biggest suitors this offseason. This is all good news for the New York Mets.
Thus far, the Mets have claimed the title for blockbuster trade in the offseason. Newly hired General Manager Brodie Van Wagenen has proven that he is here to do what it takes to win a championship now. The Mets must fill a few pieces in order to complete the puzzle, one of which is to add a power hitter.
