The 2023 New York Mets fared uncomfortably bad, sparking the push for changes to be made. Fourth place for spending a quarter of a billion dollars the previous offseason was a travesty. Here’s why bringing aboard a well known superstar pitcher/hitter might be a crucial difference maker if it gets done.
Shohei Ohtani is simply an incredible athlete, while a recent injury shelved him for the remainder of his 2023, before his injury, he had been putting up MVP type of numbers as far as stats are concerned. The 29 year old impressed for the Los Angeles Angels, hitting 44 home runs and 95 RBI batting .304.
While a recent injury certainly hurt his potential chances at a bigger offseason deal, one thing is for certain. The Mets look not to be contenders until mid 2026, respectively. Locking up a generational talent and star such as Ohtani could make the team’s contention chances much closer than expected.
While Ohtani is looking to sign a mega-deal this offseason, the Mets are looking to solidify their rotation/starting lineup. With many veteran players gone via the trade deadline, Ohtani in Queens could potentially help the younger guys. His leadership is a huge plus, and any team would be lucky to have him.
To sum it up, the Mets could very well be a great fit for a guy like Ohtani. He would love the atmosphere and the fans, and the fans would be very thankful to know they’re getting a good performance when he’s in the starting lineup. It’s a win win for both parties if a mutual agreement is made.
