Why the Mets should sign Japanese outfielder Shogo Akiyama

The 2019-2020 MLB offseason began a few weeks and thus far, a few big moves have been made. The New York Mets, however, have been quiet.

The Amazins are set to have a lot of players from last season returning to the team in 2020. Although, they do have several holes to fill, namely a new starting pitcher, relievers, and outfield depth. We should expect them to make a couple of moves this winter.

In regards to the outfield, I have a certain player in mind who I believe the Mets should pursue to round it out in 2020, and that player is the top free agent from Japan, Shogo Akiyama.
