I am very surprised to read about the Winker or Minter signings as a Plan B. The Mets needed a lefty reliever and a lefty bench/platoon bat even if Alonso re-signs. The Plan B is Bregman. Or, maybe, Santander and his 15 career games at first base. It would be stupid to sign Juan Soto but then go the cheap route on the additional power bat the lineup needs around Soto. Stearns is not stupid.
