Although the New York Mets have been quite active thus far in the offseason, there are still several moves they should make.

The New York Mets have already been very active this offseason, mainly due to the blockbuster trade that gave them superstar shortstop Francisco Lindor and veteran right-hander Carlos Carrasco.

In addition to the deal with the Cleveland Indians, the Mets have also signed All-Star catcher James McCann, reliever Trevor May, and veteran hitter Jose Martinez. These moves made this roster much deeper and much more talented.

Especially since Noah Syndergaard will be healthy this season, last year’s roster does not even hold a candle compared to the roster the Mets will have for the 2021 season. The Mets are not finished yet.

Trevor Bauer and George Springer both still testing the waters of free agency. Many teams are after Bauer, and it seems that Springer is deciding between the Mets and the Toronto Blue Jays. After the big trade and acquiring a starter then, the Mets are most likely not going to be the suitor for Bauer, but Springer could easily be wearing blue and orange for the next few seasons, pending his decision.

The New York Mets are certainly better and have filled multiple holes within their lineup, bullpen, and rotation. They should not stop here. They have some more money to spend and they have players that are approaching free agency that will definitely benefit the Mets in the long-term if they want to compete for years to come.
