Below are the team's most significant areas of concern heading into the offseason:
Biggest Needs
1. Third (or second) base: The Mets can no longer count on David Wright as even a part-time player, and don't see Wilmer Flores as an everyday starter. Asdrubal Cabrera is almost certain to be back, and in a perfect world, will share time at second base with Flores, Gavin Cecchini, Matt Reynolds and others. That leaves third base open for a free agent or trade acquisition -- though the Mets could also stick Cabrera at third and bring in a second baseman, instead.
