Danny Abriano SNY.TV: Pros and Cons: Should the Mets sign Trea Turner? "Turner is not a perfect fit for the Mets, but he is one of the best players in baseball. And the Mets, who need to add a jolt to their offense and could have plenty of money to spread around depending on how many of their own free agents they bring back, should have lots of interest in Turner -- regardless of the imperfect fit."

Brian Joura Mets360: A look at homegrown and cheap players for the Mets. Brian analyzes the current rosters of all MLB teams to see the percentage of homegrown players, free agents and trade acquisitions noting - "If we sort by “Homegrown %,” we see that the Mets currently have the 21st ranked team by homegrown prospects...they have only 33 spots on their 40-man roster, while most other teams have 38 or more. When the Mets fill those seven spots, it’s likely that four or more of them will come from people outside the org, whether that’s free agent signings or trades or even Rule 5 or other waiver additions."
