The New York Mets will have quite the decision on their hands heading into the offseason on multiple players currently scheduled for free agency and some players who aren’t yet free-agent eligible. One of those impending free agents in middle infielder Javy Baez has certainly made his case throughout the month of September as a potential solution moving forward for the Mets.
There’s no question that both Francisco Lindor and Javy Baez should be considered both the present and the future starting middle infield for the New York Mets. While money certainly shouldn’t be an object in keeping Baez in Queens for 2022 and beyond, it’s going to be interesting to see how Baez’s market develops this offseason or if the Mets even let him hit the open market.
