They need to get Vladdy a pal, since they took his buddies away last offseason.
There will be a couple more vets to replace Kiermeier and Belt. Kiermeier was fine, Belt was not, and really they weren't the right fit for the team. Merrifield gone too.
One of the new vets should also be the defacto team spokesman, just seemed like the lack of leadership and team unity wasn't there and there really wasn't a team leader that wasn't a pitcher. Springer, maybe, and really it was Gausman...again when you'd think Keirmeier or Belt should've taken the lead there.
Dynamics have to change in the locker room is my point I guess, as a lot of things seemed off in that regard last year. But yes, given the pitching they have, a window is still there, just need some reliable, value adding supporting cast.
In other news Gibby has been hired by the Mets as a bench coach.
