The New York Mets were supposed to be one of the best teams in the league last season, but they fell flat on their faces down the stretch and missed the postseason.
This offseason, the Mets need to make some big moves to improve their roster this offseason. The Mets have already lost stars like Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz in free agency. As a result, they could swing a huge trade to add a potential star outfielder.

"Tyrone Taylor and top prospect Carson Benge are currently the leading candidates to join Juan Soto in the Mets outfield, and while they are still contenders to sign Kyle Tucker or Cody Bellinger, they might need to pivot to the trade market if both sign elsewhere," Reuter wrote. "Buying low on Luis Robert Jr. would be an upside play in center field, while Rockies center fielder Brenton Doyle is another name to monitor."
Robert would be the perfect addition for the Mets if they could acquire him at an affordable price.
Robert is a star when he's at his best, but he's struggled over the last few seasons. If the Mets are confident that they can get him back to form, he would be the perfect fit in center field.
