Mets Explore Adding J.D. Davis or J.D. Martinez Amid Roster Considerations

With discussions ongoing, the team evaluates the potential impact on lineup and young prospects.

The New York Mets are considering adding J.D. Davis or J.D. Martinez to their roster, with discussions ongoing but not yet in advanced stages.
Brandon Nimmo and Francisco Lindor, Mets players, have expressed support for adding either Davis or Martinez, highlighting their potential fit and impact.
Davis, recently released by the San Francisco Giants, and Martinez, a free agent, are both seen as valuable additions to the Mets' lineup, particularly for their power hitting.
The Mets are weighing the impact of a new addition on young players like Mark Vientos and Brett Baty, who are competing for positions but could be affected by the arrival of Davis or Martinez.
The Mets' decision to pursue Davis or Martinez is influenced by financial considerations, including the competitive balance tax, and the need for lineup protection for Pete Alonso.
