We still have about a month left of regular-season baseball left to play. But for many teams out of contention — like the Mets — focus has shifted toward preparing for 2024. Will it really be a “transitory” year? Or will New York be aggressive in free agency again?
It sounds like that will depend on the players pursued by general manager Billy Eppler (and whoever else is in charge of the front office). According to SNY’s John Harper, there are two impending free agents the Mets would spend big on. Those two are Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Shohei Ohtani.
