“#Mets could use Robinson Cano savings on Michael Conforto<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n The initial reaction to Robinson Cano being suspended for the entire 2021 season for a failed drug test was the Mets had a little more than $20 million extra to spend on free agents.<\/p>\n

DJ LeMahieu\u2019s name immedia<\/a>tely was linked to Queens and provided fodder for a delicious bidding war between the Mets and Yankees. That might not formulate, since the Yankees remain the betting favorite to retain their most complete player and reigning MLB batting champion.<\/p>\n

However, that doesn\u2019t mean neophyte owner Steve Cohen stuffs the Cano savings into his car ashtray. Cohen likely already had his free-agent budget set before Cano was suspended for a second time in what was shaping up as a Hall of Fame career.<\/p>\n

In addition to LeMahieu, the top rung of the free-agent ladder includes right-hander Trevor Bauer, catcher J.T. Realmuto and outfielder George Springer. Cohen is a good choice to get at least one of them.<\/p>\n

So, could Cohen use some of the Cano bonus to engage outfielder Michael Conforto and agent Scott Boras in talks for a multiyear deal? Conforto is eligible for free agency after the 2021 season.<\/p>\n

When the Wilpons owned the Mets and Brodie Van Wagenen was the GM, they discussed the issue internally, but it never gained traction.<\/p>\n

Now, Sandy Alderson is the Mets\u2019 president, and as the Mets\u2019 GM in 2014, he used the 10th pick in the draft to take Conforto, so there is a history.<\/p>\n

While Boras has a history of advising clients to enter free agency, Conforto\u2019s 2020 season could lead the Mets make an offer that satisfies the left-handed hitter, who will be 28 on March 1.<\/p>\n

Conforto finished seventh among NL hitters with a .322 average and sixth with a .412 on-base percentage in 2020, when he earned $8 million and played in 54 game<\/a>s.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
