MLB: Mets have a lot of competition in signing for Javier Báez

This free agent market certainly belongs to shortstops, with at least 5 All-Star caliber available in the market.or how Carlos Correa, Corey Seager, Marcus Semien, Trevor Story and Javier Báez, with the latter arriving via change in the middle of last season the New York Mets, with the Queens team thus far being the top favorite to sign the Wizard.

However, according to information from Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, an anonymous executive mentioned to him after the general manager meetings that Javier Báez’s market is much larger than expected, so the Mets would have more competition. by the signature of the Magician.

He may not get as much money as Correa and Seager, but there are many teams that would love to add him to their lineup. He’s been on the big stage, won a World Series, can play second base or short stops and yes, he strikes out a lot, but his talent is not in question.

Perhaps Báez is in for the fourth most lucrative contract among shortstops, as Correa and Seager are 1-2 on the market, with Semien coming even closer with his AL MVP nomination, so between Trevor Story and Javier Báez would be fighting for fourth place among the top SS.

I am a fan of the San Francisco Giants, a number one defender of Barry Bonds and a critic of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Fernando Tatis Jr., Juan Soto and Ronald Acuña are the future of baseball, Mike Trout is overrated, and the Astros deserved to be taken away from the World Series for cheating. Besides baseball, I also enjoy soccer, football, basketball, and just about any other game that includes a ball or a ball. I am also an amateur musician, penniless gamer and very nerdy.
