From one side of the Big Apple to the other. The Mets fell to Zobrist and the Royals in five games during the 2015 Fall Classic, but they could offer him an enticing incentive to switch sides this offseason.
Daniel Murphy will be a popular free agent target, and some reports indicate that the Mets may ultimately let him walk. Zobrist would be a solid alternative to take over at second base, and he could very well come cheaper than Murphy. Midseason additions Juan Uribe and Kelly Johnson are also free agents, meaning the Mets could be in real need of the infield help Zobrist would provide.
With Yoenis Cespedes also a threat to leave, Zobrist could find himself with a potential role in the outfield as well, even more so after the contracts of Curtis Granderson and Michael Cuddyer end in the next couple years.
The Mets will feel pressure to remain competitive after their World Series appearance, and if some of their free agents expectedly move elsewhere, Zobrist could be an appealing addition.
