Losing both Edwin Diaz and Pete Alonso has left Mets fans reeling, and now hopes for a big rebound signing like Kyle Tucker are hitting a familiar roadblock: the front office won’t commit to long-term deals. The team is eyeing short contracts to keep payroll flexible for next year’s pitching market, which means stars like Tucker or Bellinger might only come if the price and terms are just right. Meanwhile, there’s buzz about giving young arms like Sproat and Tong bullpen roles sooner rather than later. How do you feel about the Mets’ cautious approach? #Sports #Baseball #Mets
