After the New York Mets went “all-in” last winter with new General Manager Brodie Van Wagenen and missed the playoffs anyway, fans are anxious for big moves this winter. They have a core that is ready to compete but there is still major work needed to be done before Brodie is able to say “Come get us”.

- Add to the rotation, though that could mean shifting Seth Lugo and/or Robert Gsellman to starting roles.
