HenryHOST
Yeah, and guys that got some more, you know, Moises Balestros, who I also believe had some injury problems this year.
HenryHOST
Tyrone Taylor, who was acquired at the trade deadline.
HenryHOST
Matt Shaw, who was in and out of the lineup all year.
HenryHOST
Those kinds of guys, those are guys that when you look at what happened in the postseason, that's an easy thing, as you said, to look to is the bench wasn't there.
Ryan FinkelsteinHOST
Now, they ended up doing the right thing 100% because they were able to get a top 100 prospect who's now their number one prospect overall.
Ryan FinkelsteinHOST
in the Clay Holmes and Tyrone Taylor trade, and you can just call up Holmes right now and get a deal done.
Ryan FinkelsteinHOST
At the end of the day, when you go through all those mid-rotation options, what separates Clay Holmes, not only the fact that I think that, to me, of that group, I would say outside of Nick Pavetta, Clay Holmes has the highest ceiling for the upcoming season.
Ryan FinkelsteinHOST
I don't know if he has the highest floor.
Geoff PontesHOST
To replace an outfielder.
Geoff PontesHOST
And it was like Tyrone Taylor is essentially who he replaced, right? Like it's a little easier to replace that than to not only have the demands of being a top prospect and the offensive production you're going to have to carry in and you're expected to carry for good reason.
Geoff PontesHOST
he has the defensive questions of like, okay, he's going to have to probably transition to third base and, And how was he going to handle that transition? He's probably going to need some time in AAA to kind of get his sea legs there.
Geoff PontesHOST
Even if he signs a contract, it could be one of those situations like a Cole Demerson where he then goes back to AAA and, you know, spends two, three months kind of working on third base defense or whatever.
EvanHOST
Because again, not a great defender, but I want to see a backup bat.
EvanHOST
The other guy that I thought about putting in this spot is a reunion with Tyrone Taylor.
EvanHOST
But I just trust the idea of Taylor Ward bouncing back from what he's been in previous seasons, where you're going to get the guy that gives you a 750 OPS and could give you 20 home runs potentially, maybe even 25 home runs.
EvanHOST
giving you that power that this team kind of needs in the middle of the lineup and has been lacking for a bit of time.
Evan RobertsHOST
You may even be able to get him on a minor league deal.
Evan RobertsHOST
Tyrone Taylor.
Evan RobertsHOST
Isn't that the guy that makes the most sense? Like, the Mets could literally bring back Holmes and Taylor after getting Jefferson Rojas, and we'd be like, yeah, that makes perfect sense.
Evan RobertsHOST
Tyrone was great last year.
Evan RobertsHOST
But you talk about a guy that knows his role and does his role well.
Evan RobertsHOST
He's exactly what they need.
Evan RobertsHOST
If they're not making a major change in the outfield, like moving Soto to a different position, then bringing Tyrone Taylor back makes more sense than any other right-handed outfielder we mentioned.
Evan RobertsHOST
Randall Gritchick, maybe, but Tyrone Taylor knows the role, has done it here, has been clutch.
Evan RobertsHOST
You may even be able to get him on a minor league deal.
Evan RobertsHOST
Tyrone Taylor.
Evan RobertsHOST

Randall Gritchick, maybe, but Tyrone Taylor knows the role, has done it here, has been clutch.
AlexHOST
It would be kind of fun.
AlexHOST
I do wonder if, I mean, they traded for Clay Holmes and Tyrone Taylor, so they clearly were talking to the Mets.
AlexHOST
I wonder how often Peralta's name came up, and I wonder how far that went.
AlexHOST
I am curious.
Kyle StanleyHOST
I'm just kind of past the Ian Happ thing.
Kyle StanleyHOST
Listen, and I know there's arguments out there.
Kyle StanleyHOST
I know it's, well, who's better out there? I'm going to just tell you right now, I'd rather have Tyrone Taylor than Ian Happ.
AlexHOST
I was going to throw him into the mix too.
Jack JohnsonHOST
Maybe it's a Randy Roseran, and maybe it's a Seiya Suzuki.
Jack JohnsonHOST
Maybe it's a Tyrone Taylor in center field.
Jack JohnsonHOST
Maybe it's a Jake Bowers, and you figure out a way to put him in the outfield or handle it however you want to.
Jack JohnsonHOST
That's the fun part about the offseason.
6 MINS LATER
Jack JohnsonHOST
See if he can go crush lefties, still handle center field defensively, but we're going to try to protect him as much as we can.
Jack JohnsonHOST
We don't want him getting hurt 20 games into the season because I just don't think he's an everyday player anymore.
Jack JohnsonHOST
But in looking at right-handed bats out there, I'd imagine Tyrone Taylor is going to get a lot more than Luis Robert.
Jack JohnsonHOST
You want to go Tyrone Taylor and make him an everyday player? I could understand that reasoning as well.
Aram LeightonHOST
If he can get to a point where he can hit big league lefties, he's going to have a nice career.
Aram LeightonHOST
He can follow in Tyrone Taylor's footsteps, right? So, at least that is encouraging there.
Aram LeightonHOST
And the approach has gotten so much better.
Aram LeightonHOST
16% chase rate over his last 150 plate appearances for Van's Honeycutt, which, like, three true outcomes run into your homers, right? run really well on the base paths and play elite defense.
Vincent OpperHOST
Hap and Suzuki, but Suzuki is the only one we have a qualifying offer on, but I doubt if he takes that.
Vincent OpperHOST
Hap, Suzuki, Conforto, Tyron Taylor, and Carson Kelly, all free agents.
Vincent OpperHOST
So we have, what is that? 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13.
Vincent OpperHOST
13 players who are free agents.
