New York Mets evaluate roster changes and trade options

Following a second consecutive season missing the playoffs, the New York Mets are evaluating roster changes under president of baseball operations David Stearns. One potential move involves veteran infielder Francisco Lindor, who is currently under a 10-year contract through 2031. While Lindor holds a no-trade clause and has expressed a desire to remain in New York, analysts have suggested the Toronto Blue Jays as a potential trade destination due to Lindor's familiarity with their front office and the Mets' desire to manage his $185 million remaining salary.

Additionally, the Mets are looking to address depth at first base. After failing to match the production of Pete Alonso, the team is considering free-agent options to stabilize the position. Potential targets include Japanese infielder Teruaki Sato and Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Alec Bohm, who provided productive hitting during the Phillies' recent postseason run.
