Part 2/14:
Just yesterday, reports confirmed that the Mets are interested in Cody Bellinger, one of the most coveted free agents this offseason, with John Hay of the New York Post highlighting the mutual interest. Given Bellinger's versatile offensive and defensive skill set, this news isn't surprising—he has been on Mets radar for months, dating back to the end of the 2025 season.
Why Bellinger Fits the Mets Like a Glove
Over the years, Bellinger has proven himself as a proficient defender across multiple positions—center field, first base, and corner outfield—making him an extremely flexible piece for any roster. His offensive numbers in 2025 with the Yankees were impressive:
89 runs scored
29 home runs
98 RBIs
13 stolen bases
