Colorado Rockies: Three Possible Landing Spots for Trevor Story
The New York Mets
With their new owner Steven Cohen and his deep pockets, the New York Mets could be a trade partner with the Colorado Rockies to land Trevor Story and then extend him or re-sign him after the 2021 season.
The Mets have been rumored to trade for Lindor, so having interest in Story is realistic. He would cost a lot in both experienced players and prospects. The Mets would have to give up their top shortstop prospect Ronny Mauricio and multiple pitching prospects, most particularly Matthew Allan, at the very least. Despite having to give up a lot of young talented players with a lot of potential, the Mets would become legit contenders if they had talent like Story at shortstop. He would immediately bolster their lineup and improve their team defensively.
Story’s bat would be great bat in front of Pete Alonso and behind Michael Conforto. These three potential MVP candidates and new catcher James McCann and Jeff McNeil would round this lineup off nicely and make them a legit threat to win the National League East.
The Mets have been notorious for being weak defensively for multiple seasons. Adding Story would fix that problem and make the Mets a more well-rounded ball club.
