While the New York Mets said, after the Francisco Lindor-Carlos Carrasco trade, that they were “still hungry” and in play for top free agent center fielder George Springer, a case can be made to say that DJ LeMahieu is a much better fit at this point than the former Houston Astro.
Danny Abriano of SNY talks about the subject at lenght, and it makes sense. As of right now, the Mets have a hole at third base (or second, depending on where they play Jeff McNeil) after trading both Amed Rosario and Andres Gimenez to Cleveland.
