However, in 2021 with the Philadelphia Phillies, McCutchen achieved 27 round-trippers, showing that he may still have some pop left in his bat.<\/p>\n<p>The Mets already had Sterling Marte, Mark Kanha and Brandon Nimo, who stepped down this offseason to sign eight-year, $162 million deals as outfielders. But the addition of McCutchen could provide New York with insurance in case one of his starters gets hurt.<\/p>\n<p>New York has already pledged around $500 million to free agency, including making a big splash with the signings of Justin Verlander and Kodai Senga. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n\t\t!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n\t\t{if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n\t\tn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n\t\tif(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n\t\tn.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n\t\tt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n\t\ts.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n\t\t'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n\t\tfbq('init', '657944992269625');\n\t\tfbq('track', 'PageView');\n\t<\/script><script src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js?ver=27.0.20230103214326\" id='facebook-sdk-js'><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/__i\/rss\/rd\/articles\/CBMiW2h0dHBzOi8vbmVzbi5jb20vMjAyMy8wMS9tZXRzLXJlcG9ydGVkbHktZXllaW5nLWV4LW12cC1hcy1ldmVudGZ1bC1tbGItb2Zmc2Vhc29uLWNvbnRpbnVlcy_SAV9odHRwczovL25lc24uY29tLzIwMjMvMDEvbWV0cy1yZXBvcnRlZGx5LWV5ZWluZy1leC1tdnAtYXMtZXZlbnRmdWwtbWxiLW9mZnNlYXNvbi1jb250aW51ZXMvYW1wLw?oc=5\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] The New York Mets certainly haven&#8217;t hesitated to spend money this offseason.
