Josh Burn breaks down the Mets being linked to Cardinals first baseman Alec Burleson in trade talks, but is the MLB RBI leader the right bat for the Mets, or should they sign Ty France?
Alec Burleson led baseball with 116 RBI and hit a career-high 26 home runs for the St. Louis Cardinals in 2026, and his name keeps coming up as a Mets first base trade target. The catch: he hit .212 against left-handed pitching, and one Heavy trade idea has him costing Brett Baty, Mark Vientos and prospects like Jonah Tong.
The Mets already have a left-handed first baseman in Jared Young, and the lineup lost its right-handed power when Pete Alonso signed with the Orioles. We break down why a right-handed bat like free agent Ty France makes more sense, and where Japanese slugger Teruaki Sato, the Hanshin Tigers Triple Crown winner now posted for MLB teams, fits before the December 1 lockout.
