The Mets, at the time of this writing, have their hands full fishing for the Moby Dick of free agents in Juan Soto. On top of looking to bolster the core of their offense after a surprise NLCS appearance, they need some help on the back end of their offense, too. With Jose Iglesias hiring Scott Boras and likely playing his way into a starting role somewhere and the difficult seasons for most of the Mets’ upper minor league bats, the team has space for some bench players who can be called upon to start if injury strikes, and Brendan Rodgers would be a good fit for that.
