Carson Benj is viewed as a promising internal candidate for center field, with Roberts interpreting Sterns' language as a signal that the Mets may lean on Benj, Tyrone Taylor, or other internal options rather than signing a big-name outfielder like Bellinger or Robert Jr., unless necessary. The team seems to value versatility, with Roberts noting that Bader could be a valuable addition as a defensively elite fourth outfielder.
