"Last night, the Mets officially announced their recent deal with star infielder Bo Bichette and swung a trade for former All-Star Luis Robert Jr. to patrol center field for the team this year. Those moves are the latest in what's turned into a major overhaul of the Mets' offense coming off a disappointing 83-win campaign that saw them miss the playoffs in 's first season under club control."
"Alonso's 141 wRC+ is difficult to replace, and no player the Mets have added so far figures to put up a gaudy number like that this year. Bichette (134 wRC+) and Jorge Polanco (132 wRC+) have both come into the mix on the heels of strong seasons in their own rights, however, and both figure to serve as legitimate middle-of-the-order threats for the Mets this season."
The Mets signed Bo Bichette and traded for former All-Star Luis Robert Jr., signaling a major offensive overhaul after an 83-win season that missed the playoffs in the first season under club control. Franchise stalwarts Pete Alonso, Brandon Nimmo, and Jeff McNeil departed and were replaced by new faces. The team missed out on Kyle Tucker and has not yet secured a front-of-the-rotation starter, leaving fans frustrated heading into Spring Training. Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto remain the lineup's top two hitters. Alonso's 141 wRC+ is difficult to replace; Bichette (134) and Jorge Polanco (132) offer middle-of-order production but less power than Alonso. Additional roster moves remain possible before the season.
