Should the Mets target a first baseman in free agency?

Free agency kicked off at 5 p.m. on Monday, and SNY Mets Contributor Jim Duquette lists the Mets among the interested teams for free agent first basemen Eric Hosmer, Yonser Alonso, Logan Morrison, and Carlos Santana.

Duquette, in a piece for MLB.com, ultimately predicts that Morrison -- who hit .246/.353/.516 with 38 HR this past season for the Rays -- will sign with the Mets.

Before his breakout season in 2017, the lefty-hitting Morrison had slugged .420, .383, and .414 respectively over his prior three seasons -- spending 2014 and 2015 with the Mariners and 2016 with the Rays.
