Should Mets focus on Shohei Ohtani or Manny Machado next winter?

Even without Carlos Correa at third base, the Mets have put together a memorable offseason. Team owner Steve Cohen OK’ed about $500 million in guaranteed contracts. If he’s proved anything, it’s that he’s willing to go to great lengths to field a winning roster.

We haven’t even gotten to the 2023 season yet, but some are already thinking about the top players set to hit the open market next winter. Unless he signs an extension with the Los Angeles Angels (or gets traded and signs one with his new team), Shohei Ohtani will be the best and most fascinating player available.
