Since they envision him starting, might make Perkins for Baty more realistic .

I'd much rather have Perkins than Baty

What is your 3B and Tyler black plan than going into the season Walrus?

Don't think the Mets need another defense first CF, they already traded for Siri to pair with TT....unless they can move Marte or something.

Well pretty much most options are better than Baty. I would prefer someone that doesn't suck. Tyler Black is not a 3B.

Why would signing a free agent RP who the Mets envision as an SP make trading an IF for an OF more realistic?

Just for fun, since they all came up, here is a quick comparison between Taylor, Siri, and Perkins. Age in parentheses is for the 2025 season.

2021-24 Taylor (Age 31)
1,264 PA | 2,794 inn.
63 BB+ | 104 K+ | 99 wRC+
97 AVG+ | 121 ISO+
+27 DRS | +14 FRV
+8.0 BsR | 5.6 WAR
1.55 WAR / 350 PA
+7.25 DRS / 750 inn.

2022-24 Siri (Age 29)
1,137 PA | 2,669 inn.
77 BB+ | 158 K+ | 86 wRC+
85 AVG+ | 123 ISO+
+19 DRS | +41 FRV
+7.4 BsR | 6.3 WAR
1.94 WAR / 350 PA
+11.52 FRV / 750 inn.

2023-24 Perkins (Age 28)
602 PA | 1,357 inn.
128 BB+ | 114 K+ | 85 wRC+
94 AVG+ | 64 ISO+ 
+19 DRS | +17 FRV
+3.2 BsR | 2.6 WAR
1.51 WAR / 350 PA
+10.50 DRS / 750 inn.

Obviously what they all have in common is they can go and get it on the grass and they're all plus baserunners too. 

Tyrone isn't quite as elite afield as the other two, but he makes up for it by being the best hitter of the bunch with a minuscule walk rate his only real performance flaw.

Perkins and Siri are more comparable as GG calibre center fielders, with Blake bringing walks and some singles to the plate (but no pop) while Jose is a 1.5TO guy with the massive K rate and power that is more plus than truly top end (but no hits or walks to back it up).

Anyway, back on topic, with Montas and Holmes joining Senga and Peterson as holdovers in the Mets rotation they should have room for one more addition. Have to imagine they splurge towards the top of the market for one of Burnes, Fried or Flaherty to round things out, though Stearns loves his flexibility so another calculated dice roll can't be entirely ruled out. Apparently Sasaki has the same agent as Senga too, so they might have the best shot of landing him among East Coast clubs.
