The clean-up hitter for the New York Mets is going to have an important job this season. They will be tasked with driving in Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto, who figure to bat first and second in the new-look batting order. Right now, the fourth spot is up for grabs, and there are a lot of options to look at.
There are some internal ones, too. Assuming Mark Vientos slides into the third spot, then other hitters could move up. However, the spend-happy Mets are likely not done yet and could add someone to fill that hole.
Who the Mets can tab for the clean-up spot
#5) Nico Hoerner

The Chicago Cubs are very active in the trade market. They added Kyle Tucker and gave away Cody Bellinger. For the right price, they could move on from second baseman Nico Hoerner. If so, the Mets should be all over that.
