New York Mets continues to speak in MLB after the change of Francisco Lindor and in his search for better reinforcements for the team, franchise and defender DJ LeMahieu has a “mutual interest”, Andy Martino of SNY reported on Tuesday, but reaching an agreement remains a difficult task.
Why? Due to the salary situation of the Mets after the change in which they acquired the Puerto Rican Francisco Lindor and the Venezuelan Carlos Carrasco. LeMahieu’s price could see the Mets beat the luxury tax in 2021.
But both sides could find ways to make a deal. Martino says the Mets could make other moves to reduce pay and make LeMahieu’s arrival possible.
LeMahieu could be a good fit for the Mets, especially if they want to keep Jeff McNeil off the field (instead of second baseman) and use Dom Smith as the designated hitter if he continues in the National League position. in 2021.
