Mets talk with Ty France's camp to fill hole at first base
New York Post • • sports
Key Points:
- The Mets are actively seeking to upgrade their first base position, having contacted Ty France’s camp as part of their offseason search for a righty-hitting first baseman.
- France, a Gold Glove-winning defender and solid hitter coming off his best season, is considered one of the top free-agent first basemen available alongside Alec Bohm.
- The Mets currently have a platoon option in Jared Young and uncertainty surrounding Jorge Polanco, who is recovering from ankle surgery and whose role will be evaluated in spring training.
- With other lineup spots largely set, the Mets may supplement first base with a right-handed bat to complement Young or find an everyday starter, potentially moving Young to designated hitter.
- Besides France and Bohm, Paul Goldschmidt remains a possible target for the Mets as they finalize their plans for first base and designated hitter roles.
