Amed Rosario

Rosario was only 22 years old when everyone started losing faith. After failing to immediately become the next Francisco Lindor, he came to life by batting .284 with five homers and 15 steals over the final two months. He spent most of that stretch atop the Mets' lineup, a distinction he likely won't reclaim now that walks machine Brandon Nimmo can set the table for Jed Lowrie, Robinson Cano, Wilson Ramos, and Michael Conforto. Getting shunned to the bottom of the batting order is the only reason not to go all in on Rosario, a former top prospect who could still deliver 10 homers and 25 steals with a higher ceiling.

Amed Rosario potential target in deal for JT Realmuto

The Miami Marlins are targeting Amed Rosario or Michael Conforto as starting points for any deal involving JT Realmuto.

Fantasy Impact

Originally, the Mets' centerpiece in trying to get Realmuto was Brandon Nimmo. Reportedly the Marlins are not interested in Nimmo. It is unlikely the Mets would let go of Conforto even for the former All-Star, making Rosario the likely centerpiece if both teams can agree on terms. A lineup of Robinson Cano, Conforto, Realmuto, and possibly Yoenis Cespedes would be a very strong core four.
