MLB:
If Lindor stays, what guardrails keep the Mets from overhauling the core while chasing a better defense?
Qwiket AI:
Lindor’s consistency at shortstop gives the Mets a defensive floor and clubhouse stability, so any overhaul should target complementary upgrades rather than core removal. Prioritize movable pieces with high defensive value who can slot into improved run prevention without erasing the lineup’s batting depth. The goal is a cleaner, more efficient defense around a proven anchor.
