They also have 3 corner outfielders already. Conforto is the future and needs to play everyday. Maybe they can move Granderson or even Bruce. But if they keep Cespedes they need to move both. You can't have them going into the year with 4 corner outfielders.

Also time to address third base. Can't count on David Wright anymore. I love the guy. One of my favorite players to watch. But he might be done as a long term option.
Ces/Grandy/Conforto would be my choice. Fuck Jay Bruce. He started to heat up in the last week of the season but that didn't change the fact that he was useless up until then. He also killed the Mets yesterday by striking out after a leadoff TJ Rivera double instead of at least moving the runner over.

But Ces has to stick around in any circumstance. Has to. It is not optional. Give him what he wants or this team will fall apart.

As for 3B, Wright's gonna understandably try to keep going rather than retire and forfeit his huge contract. I'm less worried about it for 2017 though because they're still gonna have Reyes for league minimum, Reyes might start at 2B next year but he's shown he can handle 3B if/when Wright gets his next injury.

I gotta say I also really love TJ Rivera. Hell of a story. Remains to be seen if he can be an everyday 2B or not but at minimum he looks like he'd be a quality bench piece. He's done nothing but hit at every level.
