Quote:Their lineup is more of a concern than the bullpen, in my opinion. They have a couple guys there coming back within the next few weeks.

 

They do need to acquire a bat, though. Murphy is coming back from the DL tomorrow, but just him alone won't be a difference-maker. Wright is supposedly gonna be back after the AS break, but who knows how his back will react. d'Arnaud showed he belongs, but he's another one that always gets hit with freak injuries. Grandy is coming around too. Duda and Cuddyer need to step it up. I'm not sure though there's anyone available they could realistically target, maybe except for Ben Zobrist.

 

 

   There are rumors that the Mets have serious interest in Reds 3B Todd Frazier.   Because Frazier has extensive experience at 1B and in the OF,   I can envision Frazier and David Wright being in the Mets lineup at the same time.   The #  1 question appears to be what would it cost the Mets in trade compensation to land Frazier,  who already has 25 HRs?
