Mets’ Ranger Suárez Plan Was Tied to Bo Bichette Spend

“They liked Michael King, but were nowhere close to the Padres,” reported Joel Sherman. He added the Mets would’ve pivoted to Suárez “with a willingness to do the five years at $130 million” if Suárez had lingered and the Mets hadn’t “spent heavily on Bichette,” ($126M for 3 years). Instead, the Red Sox landed Suárez on that reported five-year deal.
