Every year, Max over at Royals Review runs an offseason simulation, and 30 volunteer GMs take a shot at managing their team. This year, I had the opportunity to represent the Mets, an exciting proposition given the optimism around the team right now. I’ll note the cap number I was given wasn’t as impressive as we were hoping for from our new GM at only $182 million, but that left plenty of room for some fun maneuvering and an exciting end product.
Initial Goals
The holes on the Mets roster are obvious to anyone: the rotation is nearly empty, there’s no starting catcher on the team, the bullpen needs more depth, and a real center fielder would be a welcome addition.
