Honestly, I'm not entirely sure how the Mets fix their problems. Payroll probably is going to be a problem, but I'm not sure how they fill-in some of their needs without getting closer to the $300M mark. Signing deGrom or Edwin Diaz long term will put them in tax purgatory for a long time, where the fees keep going up.
At least they have a third baseman ready to take over and provide some production (offensively and defensively) from the hot corner.

I don't get how this happens, there are so many guys on expiring contracts and not enough in the shed in SYR to replace all of them even just to have a ML worthy roster. And we just watched the Giants to see what happens when after piling up a lot of regular season wins a team sits on their hands in the offseason or makes fill-in pickups. I can't see them tearing things down, but that's been perpetual since 2015.
