Austin Hays Linked To Mets as They Chase Brandon Nimmo Replacement

Jon Heyman reported the Mets discussed Hays internally and “have some interest.” The right-handed outfielder posted a .768 OPS in Cincinnati in 2025. He fits in a lineup that needs more righty balance. After moving Nimmo, the Mets keep scanning corner-outfield options while weighing trades and free agents around Soto’s new core. No deal is close, but talks signal urgency.
