It’s time to play Armchair GM.
Another MLB hot-stove season is upon us, with free agency underway and the league’s general managers (and Sandy Alderson) convening in Carlsbad, Calif. Both the Yankees and Mets have major needs after coming off of seasons that were disappointing to varying degrees.
Will either team reach for Carlos Correa, ranked by The Post’s Ken Davidoff as the best player on the free-agent market? Could Justin Verlander end up in New York after both local teams sent scouts to his workout Monday in Florida? Maybe the versatile veteran Marcus Semien could provide a boost to the middle infield in The Bronx or Queens. There’s also Corey Seager, Freddie Freeman (if he can be convinced to leave Atlanta) and Max Scherzer, among others.
Which players do you want the Yankees and Mets to sign? Who can help these teams go on a World Series run?
