1. Luis Robert Jr., White Sox
After Byron Buxton made it clear that he was a ‘twin for life’, the Mets then missed Robert because she and the White Sox never came close (De Padres and Phillies also not acquiring Ramón Laureano and Harrison Bader). The Mets apparently did not want to give up Mark Vientos of Luisangel Acuña as part of packages, or a part with 3B/from Jacob Reimer or 2B/from AJ Ewing, because they considered Robert to be a rental home (the Chisox, in the meantime, are considering picking up Robert’s $ 20 million).
Fine Fallback option Cedric Mullins is better than his surprising everyday defensive analyzes (plus two oaa, via baseballsavant.com). “I never understood why the defensive statistics did not like him. I can’t remember a ball that I think should have been caught,” Longtime Orioles manager Brandon Hyde told The Post.
2. Byron Buxton, twins
The Mets, Phillies, Padres, Braves’ birthplace and others were looking for the Ultra
3. And 4. Sandy Alcantara and Edward Cabrera, Marlins
The Marlins understandably wanted Spencer Jones or Miami product George Lombard Jr. From the Yankees. The Red Sox and Cubs eventually came closest, but nobody was mainly close to the two controllable star starters.
