It was a busy Super Bowl weekend for the Mets — most of it disappointing. First, they lost out on Trevor Bauer and then they signed Albert Almora, Jr. So with Spring Training set to start in less than two weeks, what can the Mets do to address their outstanding needs?
First, let’s talk about Bauer, who is instantly public enemy number one at Citi Field. I’m not sure how I feel about losing him. First of all, I agree that he is making far too much money for who he is. He will pocket $85 million over the next two seasons, then almost certainly opt out of his third year.
