Following the long Carlos Correa dilemma, it already seems as if the New York Mets have their next big third base target in mind.
To just go along with all of the Shohei Ohtani talk as a future Mets target, you can now throw Manny Machado into the conversation for Steve Cohen. Machado has a player option on his contract after this season and is expected to exercise it.
The initial buzz surrounding Machado for the Mets came shortly after Correa agreed to go back to the Minnesota Twins. The report came from Michael Marino of Sports Illustrated, who shared that the Mets internally discussed the idea of Machado next year as talks with Correa were dwindling.
