George Springer and the New York Mets seem to be a match made in heaven. The Mets are in desperate need of a defensive upgrade in center field and Springer provides that and much more. Meanwhile, a move to Queens would be a homecoming of sorts for the Connecticut native.
Thus, it should come as no surprise that multiple reports are stating the Mets are the clear favorites to sign the former Astro.
It all started when Buster Olney of ESPN appeared on ESPN Radio Monday night and proclaimed he would “bet the family farm in Vermont” that Springer would end up with the Mets.
