Mets Morning News: Let it Snowlen Arenado

Meet the Mets

The Rockies are reportedly shopping All-Star Nolan Arenado again and are hoping to engage in talks with the Mets.

The Mets could go after Arenado, or some of the other big names on the market, but who realistically could the team give up should they want to make a deal for a superstar?

Luis Rojas met with the media for the first time since being confirmed as the manager for the 2021 season, and now he has a chance to settle in after last year’s tumultuous season.

During the Zoom call he mentioned that no decision has been made on how Seth Lugo will be used next season and that Amed Rosario could see some time at third with Andres Gimenez taking over at shortstop.

The team expects Noah Syndergaard to return from Tommy John surgery sometime in June which means they could still use rotation help at the start of the season.
