The MLB offseason continues to be in constant motion, with an endless stream of names moving between teams. The New York Mets are among the clubs looking to strengthen their roster, and following Jeff McNeil’s departure, Carlos Mendoza’s team has set its sights on Luis Robert Jr. who is also being pursued by a new competitor.
The interest in the outfielder is real and concrete. However, according to empiresportsmedia.com, the team that has aggressively entered the race for the White Sox player is the Cincinnati Reds, a club with strong chances of acquiring him.
As the days go by, the next destination of the former All-Star will undoubtedly become clear. And if the Mets end up losing the battle to the Reds, they will need to look for a new name to replace McNeil’s departure.
Mets sign Ofreidy Gomez to minor league deal
By bringing in Ofreidy Gomez, the Mets are sticking to a familiar strategy: prioritize raw power now and refine the performance later. While Gomez lacks a high-profile resume or a track record of big-league dominance, his primary appeal is undeniable—a high-octane fastball that consistently pushes 99 mph.
Following an impressive stint in winter ball, the Mets decided his elite velocity was worth the investment as they continue to stockpile high-ceiling arms for their pitching depth.
