Springer is a heavy hitter with a batting average of 2,7 pennies (832 hits in 3087 at-bats), 174 homers and 458 RBIs, and an OPS of .852 in 795 games in 7 seasons. Last season, he was active in 51 games with a batting average of 20% (50 hits in 189 at-bats), 14 homers, 32 RBIs and an OPS of .899.

The Toronto Blue Jays have offered a little less than $150 million to sign Springer, he is an attractive player to the Mets But the Mets are not in a situation where they can spend money and Mets are not ready to give Springer $175 million.

Springer is certainly an attractive player for several teams, but it's unclear if there will be a team with $175 million offer. The major league teams that were hit by Corona Virus last year are cautious about their spending this winter.

The Mets are especially concerned about the recruitment of Springer. Springer may have to change his main position from center fielder to right field within a few seasons, as the position overlaps with the current main right fielder Michael Conforto.
