If you're one of my regular readers, then you know I've been highly critical of both GM Billy Eppler and old-school manager Buck Showalter in recent weeks and months. I believe - with the core of Pete Alonso, Francisco Lindor, Jeff McNeil, Brandon Nimmo and Starling Marte - that the Mets have a chance to win it all, but they need better front office and managerial contributions. 

As always, my initial list and post can be found @LegendSports7 on Twitter. Here are the players I think the Mets could and should target via trade throughout the 2023 MLB season (original tweet was not in order, this time I am prioritizing):
