## Key points

- The Mets have spoken to Ty France’s camp about first base.
- France hit .295 with 21 home runs in his best season.
- New York is weighing free agents and trade targets.

## Summary

The Mets have contacted Ty France’s representatives as they look to address first base, the clearest gap in an otherwise largely settled lineup. General manager David Stearns expects to add someone at the position, either a right-handed hitter to complement Jared Young or an everyday player who could move Young to designated hitter.

France is coming off his strongest season: he hit .295 with 21 home runs and an .865 OPS, and was a Gold Glove finalist after winning the award the previous year. The 32-year-old may now secure a multi-year major league deal; other options include free agents Alec Bohm and Paul Goldschmidt, or a trade for players such as Alec Burleson, Spencer Torkelson or Jake Burger. The Mets’ plans may also depend on Tarik Skubal discussions and Jorge Polanco’s recovery from ankle surgery.
