Many writer colleagues of mine here at Rising Apple, as well as many New York Mets fans in general, have clamored for the Mets to possibly add another bat to an offense that ranks in lower third in many offensive categories thus far 90 games into the regular season. While there are times where I myself have been frustrated with the lack of run production we have seen with this ball club, I believe a large part of their offensive woes should be resolved going forward in 2021.
