Sports Illustrated’s Pat Ragazzo dropped some New York Mets rumors that’ll feed heavily into what many fans already believed could happen. According to a rival NL scout, the team is looking to shake things up in the locker room beginning with the departure of two cornerstone members of the roster.
If the plans follow through completely, free agent Pete Alonso is going to leave unless he agrees to a team-friendly deal. Jeff McNeil, who has been with the Mets for a half season longer than Alonso, will be shopped on the trade market.
In addition to potentially moving on from the pair, the speculation is they’ll sign Cody Bellinger to help in center field and first base.
