The New York Mets are reportedly open to shopping Jed Lowrie and Dominic Smith. They would be excellent depth pieces for the bench, but the former had a 5.0 fWAR season as recently as 2018 and the latter slashed .282/.355/.525 with a .368 wOBA and a 133 wRC+. It may not be fair to prevent them from starting elsewhere if they get the chance.
However, it is fair to wonder: what if the Mets keep Smith? What if they don’t find a trading partner willing to pay the price for an up-and-coming batter with power, patience, the ability to play an adequate first base and five years of team control left?
