Mets Have Discussed Signing Infielder Mike Moustakas

According to an industry source, the Mets last week discussed the idea of Mike Moustakas, a proven lefty bat who would bolster the lineup, but it’s unclear if the veteran infielder remains a possibility after the Ramos addition. Moustakas was discussed as a third-base option who would move Todd Frazier to first, allowing the Mets to ease rookie Peter Alonso into the lineup.

I’d rather have Moustakas at 3rd than Todd Frazier, who I feel is pretty near the end of his career. But the ides here is signing Moustakas to play 3rd and moving Frazier to 1st, which of course would surely upset the steady-waiting-for-his-shot Peter Alonso.
