Assuming the Mets don't re-sign Cespedes or Walker...which both seem highly likely. The Mets are gonna have something like this:

C: Travis d'Arnaud
1B: Lucas Duda
2B: Jose Reyes
SS: Asdrubal Cabrera
3B: David Wright
OF: Jay Bruce, Curtis Granderson, and a Michael Conforto/Juan Lagares platoon in the other spot

That's 5 players with expiring deals (Bruce, Granderson, Reyes, Cabrera, Duda) and 2 massive injury risks who aren't even guaranteed to play well at this point (d'Arnaud, Wright).

2017 might be a fucking rebuild year to get to the Amed Rosario, Dom Smith, and Gavin Cecchini "era". Having a rebuild so soon after winning the pennant is a fucking joke. I feel terrible for the pitchers.
