Meet the Mets
The Mets are interested in a couple of catchers. The first is J.T. Realmuto but the price might be too steep for them to pay. The second is Yasmani Grandal who is a free agent this offseason.
The other area they are interested in strengthening is the bullpen, and one target could be Andrew Miller to fill that need.
According to Brodie Van Wagenen, as it stands now Jeff McNeil is next year’s starting second baseman.
The Mets could be interested in a reunion with Asdrubal Cabrera.
Agent Scott Boras gave some frosty answers during his press conference with the media and it appears his relationship with the Mets has not improved.
Despite Boras’s bluster, Van Wagenen claimed he has no issues with the agent.
Chili Davis could potentially be the Mets’ new hitting coach next season.
Tim Tebow is working his way back from a broken hamate bone and could see playing time in the majors next season.

The Nationals reportedly offered Bryce Harper a ten-year deal worth $300 million at the end of the year, but he rejected the offer.
Around Major League Baseball
