The Mets also have Jeff McNeil, who can play a corner-outfield position as needed and Khalil Lee, who struggled offensively last season for Triple-A Syracuse.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n\t<\/aside>\n<p>The free-agent market includes names such as Michael Brantley, Andrew Benintendi and Michael Conforto, all of whom would bring a left-handed bat.<\/p>\n<p>There is skepticism within the organization that a Conforto-Mets reunion can materialize given the outfielder might want an escape from the narrative that he erred last offseason in rejecting the qualifying offer from the club.  Conforto went unsigned into the lockout and injured his right shoulder in January, preventing him from signing a deal in spring training.  He underwent surgery on the shoulder in April and searched for a new team late in the season, but never struck a deal.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Vogelbach and Darin Ruf remain the DH combination, but it&#8217;s fair to question whether that will remain the case headed to spring training.  Vogelbach, who arrived before the trade deadline from the Pirates, was solid against right-handed pitchers, but struggles against lefties.  The Mets could still look to trade Ruf, who was a disappointment over the final two months after arriving in a trade with the Giants.  The Mets also have Mark Vientos, who arrived from Triple-A Syracuse late in the season, but don&#8217;t seem prepared to just hand the rookie slugger a job in spring training.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/Mets_Yankees_Baseball.jpg?resize=1024%2C682&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Yankees\" class=\"wp-image-24977658\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/Mets_Yankees_Baseball.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/Mets_Yankees_Baseball.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/Mets_Yankees_Baseball.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><figcaption>Andrew Benintendi <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Francisco Alvarez&#8217;s bat could provide a boost from the right side, but the Mets have to decide how to best implement the rookie catcher in the lineup.  The team has Tomas Nido and James McCann, the latter of whom still could be traded to create space for Alvarez.  McCann has $24 million remaining on his contract and the Mets would likely eat a sizable portion of that.<\/p>\n<p>Senga&#8217;s arrival on a five-year contract worth $75 million raises questions whether the Mets will keep Carlos Carrasco or trade him and give Tylor Megill and David Peterson a shot in spring training to compete for the fifth spot in the rotation behind Jose Quintana, who signed a two-year deal worth $26 million with the club.  The Mets last month picked up Carrasco&#8217;s option for next season worth $14 million, and the right-hander could provide value for a club in need of a starting pitching that is willing to surrender major league talent or prospects.<\/p>\n<p>The Mets addressed the bullpen with David Robertson&#8217;s arrival on a one-year contract worth $10 million that followed a trade with the Rays for left-hander Brooks Raley.  It&#8217;s likely the Mets will look to further extend that depth, but it&#8217;s unclear if Robertson&#8217;s arrival precludes the possibility of a reunion with Adam Ottavino, who was the team&#8217;s best setup reliever last season.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>    .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billy Eppler was given the day off Sunday by his boss \u2014 which meant no phone contact with owner Steve Cohen \u2014 after the wildest offseason week in Mets history.
