Mets now have even more reason to battle Yankees for top target Cody Bellinger
NY Post
The most encouraging thing out of David Stearns’ Zoom call with writers was Stearns answering “sure” as to whether it’s possible the Mets could do all three of these things: bring back Edwin Díaz and Pete Alonso as well as add a big outfielder.
Trading Brandon Nimmo is only the first hint the Mets will react strongly to their disastrous 83-win season.
Cody Bellinger looks like a better Mets fit now that Nimmo has been traded. If they bring back Alonso (things feel much more positive this year than last), Bellinger could enhance the 1B situation by giving Alonso a DH day.
But the Yankees continue to make Bellinger their No. 1 target, plus Philly and both LA teams are lurking.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
