The Mets are aggressively pursuing Juan Soto to play right field for the next dozen or so years. If he signs elsewhere, the Mets are still likely to bring in a right-fielder, and one of the more attractive free agent options for the team is former Orioles masher Anthony Santander.
Santander is a 30-year-old Venezuelan switch-hitter coming off a season where he was both an All-Star and a Silver Slugger and hit 44 home runs. That puts him behind just Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani for the third most in baseball last season. Santander became an everyday player in 2019, and his power began to really mature in 2022.
