Jose Iglesias, a versatile infielder and fan favorite, is currently a free agent, but he's expressed a desire to return to the New York Mets. The Mets are focused on re-signing star first baseman Pete Alonso and adding an outfielder, but there’s potential for Iglesias to be brought back on a one-year deal if these priorities are handled.
Iglesias made a significant impact last season after being called up from Triple-A Syracuse. His impressive performance helped the Mets reach the postseason, culminating in a deep playoff run. He finished the season with a .337 batting average and a .829 OPS over 85 games, showcasing his all-around skills at multiple infield positions.
