Several players with options will join the unrestricted free agents on the market, presenting the New York Mets with four very intriguing candidates for specific roles.

Rising Apple argues the New York Mets should target four potential free agents facing upcoming contract option decisions this offseason. Writer Stephen Parello identifies starting pitchers Michael King and Matthew Boyd, outfielder Myles Straw, and relief pitcher Wandy Peralta as ideal targets to address roster needs ranging from rotation upgrades to bench depth.
The writer notes King could opt out of $66 million with the San Diego Padres following a strong 32-start season, while Boyd shares an unlikely-to-be-exercised $15 million mutual option with the Chicago Cubs. Additionally, Straw and Peralta are highlighted as valuable depth pieces for outfield defense, baserunning, and middle-relief innings.
