NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Brodie Van Wagenen may not be done revamping the Mets’ 2019 lineup.
Now that the rookie general manager has added right-handed pop with the signing of catcher Wilson Ramos, he might be in the market for another lefty bat, in addition to a lefty reliever.
According to the New York Post, the Mets may pursue free agent third baseman Mike Moustakas. However, it’s unclear how much additional payroll Van Wagenen is allowed to add. The Ramos signing — two years for $19 million with a third-year option — has pushed New York’s payroll near $150 million for next season, which is around $5 million less than what it had last season prior to a sell-off at the trade deadline.
