The New York Mets are facing tough decisions as the offseason approaches. With the team off two consecutive non-playoff seasons, owner Steve Cohen and new team president David Stearns are looking to make improvements. Suggested as a potential target is Alec Bohm, the Philadelphia Phillies third baseman set to enter free agency. While Bohm is an All-Star, questions about his defensive abilities and power output raise doubts about his fit for the Mets. The Mets need to enhance both their offense and defense, especially at first and third base, where their recent performance was subpar.
