With what feels like fresh New York Mets rumors popping up daily, it’s no surprise to hear them linked to free agent outfielders. A.J. Pollock is the latest name to appear in these Mets rumors. It makes sense with their desperate need for a right-handed bat and someone who can play in center field.
This signing would not come cheap, as he is reportedly seeking a deal such as Dexter Fowler or Lorenzo Cain received in the last two offseasons, respectively. Such an offer would likely last for five years and cost at least $80 Million, thus leaving a resultantly hefty average salary of a $16 Million per year.
