The New York Mets are actively exploring options to enhance their infield for the upcoming MLB season, with St. Louis Cardinals' third baseman Nolan Arenado emerging as a potential trade target. If acquired, Arenado could allow for strategic shifts within the lineup, particularly if Pete Alonso departs in free agency.

Meanwhile, the Mets are looking to solidify their starting rotation, but one of their targets, Nathan Eovaldi, has re-signed with the Texas Rangers. The team is also considering other pitchers like Walker Buehler and Sean Manaea, who has expressed a desire to return to New York after a successful season.

Additionally, the Toronto Blue Jays are monitoring the situation of former Mets pitcher Luis Severino as they pursue various options in the offseason.
