The Mets added veterans at second base and shortstop at the Winter Meetings in Nashville, but did they actually do well with their moves? I believe the answer is yes.
They also did well for what they failed to do, which was to sign Ben Zobrist. This would have been a disaster, a repeat of Michael Cuddyer. maybe not in the first two years, but definitely at the back-end of contract when Zobrist is in his late 30s.
Even short-term, what the Mets accomplished was better than if they signed Zobrist.
