There is a lot of age in the Mets bullpen and rotation. There likely will be injuries. Correa has legitimate injury concerns, too. I don’t think the Astros, Braves, Nationals, Cubs or Royals in recent years ‘bought’ their WS titles.
it would be great to buy every free agent but I don’t think those teams usually win the championship in the past decade. It would seem surprising if most or any of this year’s big name free agent contracts pay off in a meaningful way.
