The New York Mets are reportedly interested in signing All-Star Trea Turner this offseason in a bid to finally become a championship team. They came up short this year, losing in the Wild Card round to the San Diego Padres. Adding an offensive weapon that is also lights-out defensively is definitely a step in the right direction. The Mets are committed to building a championship team in 2023.After a 101-win season in 2022, it would be difficult to improve the team, but Trea Turner fits that bill. While he will likely have no shortage of suitors given his age and ability, the Mets might be his best chance of winning. They are bringing back much of their 2022 squad, including their superstar closer Edwin Diaz, who was recently signed to an extension.Shea Station shared via Twitter that the Mets are likely to make a run at Turner when free agency hits.Shea Station@shea_stationThe Mets REALLY are not wasting any time87824The Mets REALLY are not wasting any time https://t.co/F5pZnxav8NJust the thought of adding Turner to the already talented New York Mets lineup was enticing for their fans. Turner is a two-time All-Star who led the MLB in plate appearances in 2022 and achieved a batting average of .298. This level of consistent greatness was paramount to the success of his previous team, the Los Angeles Dodgers.Eeth@ItsMeEethBring me Trae Turner. #Mets twitter.com/shea_station/s…Shea Station@shea_stationThe Mets REALLY are not wasting any time87824The Mets REALLY are not wasting any time https://t.co/F5pZnxav8NBring me Trae Turner. #Mets twitter.com/shea_station/s….@theGOATlife_Lindor and Turner up the middle is UNFAIR , make it happen @StevenACohen2 twitter.com/shea_station/s…Shea Station@shea_stationThe Mets REALLY are not wasting any time87824The Mets REALLY are not wasting any time https://t.co/F5pZnxav8NLindor and Turner up the middle is UNFAIR , make it happen @StevenACohen2 twitter.com/shea_station/s…Steve Levine@slevine17@shea_station Turner would be a great addition. Sign him up.1@shea_station Turner would be a great addition. Sign him up.A team that does not allow itself to grow complacent is exactly what fans hope for. Winning 101 games is more than enough justification to not rock the boat too much. The New York Mets, on the other hand, will be coming into free agency swinging for the fences. This is a strategy that has their fans pumped up for the future of the franchise.Aphox (AY! FOX!) 🏡🔥@Aphox3@shea_station good, tbh. after a season like what they just had, they know that all doors and windows are open and they are *right there*if there ever was a time to commit to spending big money, its now.

While signing Trea Turner may require someone to make a defensive change, his offense is worth it.David Lefkin@dlefkin@shea_station Um. But like. They have lindor,@shea_station Um. But like.

There’s zero chance Turner is going to play the outfield. Note: Last time he played the OF was in center in 2016 which was just 45 games.1@dlefkin @shea_station Best case scenario Trea Turner is going to play 2B with McNeil going to RF.

Turner is one of the most consistent players in the league and is well worth his high pricetag. His playoff experience will also come in handy for a team with a championship in their sights.Trea Turner will be pursued by teams around the league, but a strong push from the Mets could easily see him end up in New York.
