Mets target Alec Bohm as free agent despite inconsistency concerns

The New York Mets are reportedly considering former Philadelphia Phillies corner infielder Alec Bohm as a potential free agent acquisition. Sources indicate this move appears illogical given the Mets’ current roster and Bohm's offensive limitations. With investments already in players like Jorge Polanco and Bo Bichette, adding Bohm may not address their pressing needs for next season. His reputation as a consistent double-play hitter raises further doubts about his fit in the lineup. If Bichette opts out of his $42 million deal, Bohm could be options for a one or two-year rental, but the Mets might benefit more from pursuing other versatile infield players. The team is coming off two consecutive seasons without postseason appearances, intensifying the need to make strategic moves this offseason.
