Mets consider signing Alec Bohm amid free agency preparations

Summary

The New York Mets are exploring roster improvements for the 2027 season following a disappointing 2026 campaign, where they finished last in the NL East with a record of 74-88. Reports indicate that the Mets may target Alec Bohm in free agency, looking to enhance their offense, which ranked low in runs scored. However, financial considerations surrounding current contracts could complicate the move, particularly with Jorge Polanco and Bo Bichette already on the payroll. Bohm's OPS of.698 last season suggests he would provide another option for the team, especially since he is a division rival from the Philadelphia Phillies.
