Part 2/13:
Harold Reynolds of MLB Network and baseball analyst Matt Bascurgeon have both suggested that Zack Gallon might be exactly what the Mets require. Reynolds was quoted as saying Gallon is a “natural fit,” emphasizing the idea that if the Mets are seeking stability, Gallon could provide that. Interestingly, Reynolds and other outside voices are not Mets insiders but remain influential, often shaping perceptions about player fit.
Additionally, there are reports indicating that the Arizona Diamondbacks tendered a qualifying offer to Gallon, meaning the Mets would have to forfeit draft compensation if they signed him. This financial and strategic barrier complicates the possibility of acquiring him, especially given Mets management's typical aversion to surrendering draft picks.
