The most encouraging thing out of David Stearns’ Zoom call with writers was Stearns answering “sure” as to whether it’s possible the Mets could do all three of these things: bring back Edwin Díaz and Pete Alonso as well as add a big outfielder.
Trading Brandon Nimmo is only the first hint the Mets will react strongly to their disastrous 83-win season.
Cody Bellinger looks like a better Mets fit now that Nimmo has been traded. If they bring back Alonso (things feel much more positive this year than last), Bellinger could enhance the 1B situation by giving Alonso a DH day.
But the Yankees continue to make Bellinger their No. 1 target, plus Philly and both LA teams are lurking.
