The Mets future is termed, “bleak,” according to the Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal. At least as of this moment. Rosenthal did not hold back claiming the Mets are inclined to test the waters this off-season on Yoshinobu Yamamoto of Japan.
While Shohei Ohtani is the clear target for all 32 MLB teams, realistic signs point to New York again capitalizing on the international market like Kodai Senga and acquire the multi-time NPL Triple Crown winner, Yamamoto. Senga, speaking of which, may not be generating Ohtani headlines, but just a month ago he fanned 12K and in his debut proved to be confident.
The glaring hole rests in the 2023 MLB Trade Deadline. The Mets said see you later to notably Max Scherzer, Justin Verlander, Mark Canha, and Tommy Pham in an uprise of sorts to presumably respond to the Mets abysmal June of no registered series wins or simply turn the page with prospects such as OF Drew Gilbert, INF LuisAngel Acuna, and several others.
Pat Ragazzo of InsideTheMets.com confirmed on Sports Kingdom the outgoing flood of incoming shortstop prospects. The Mets acquired four and Acuna (Mets No.1 prospect) is expected to significantly bolster the Mets bleak outcome.
It has been said that Luis Angel does not match to Ronald Acuna’s trajectory but one notion is for certain. Luis Angel can play and silence the critics. There is no otherworldly margin for error.
Steve Cohen has seemed to quietly fess for now but wait until the awaited off-season. It is neutrally just begun.
