Part 2/6:
On the other side of the league, the New York Mets seem to be taking a different approach. Reports have surfaced that they are interested in outfielder Jeren Profar, a player who, despite a promising past, offers a considerably less glamorous profile compared to top-tier acquisitions. Profar's name may not have the same luster as high-impact players like Alex Bregman or Pete Alonso, which has left many Mets fans feeling underwhelmed.
The Mets' recent signings, including a decent move for reliever AJ Minter and the acquisition of Jesse Winker, have not met the expectations of fans who wanted more significant upgrades to the roster. Profar, who had a solid season last year with the Padres, posting 24 home runs and an average of .280, is seen as a fringe addition rather than a game changer.
