The New York Mets, having bolstered their outfield with the addition of Juan Soto, could now look to improve their infield by pursuing free-agent third baseman Alex Bregman.

The Mets are one of the MLB clubs with "varying degrees" of interest in Bregman, according to MLB.com's Mark Feinsand.

The New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Detroit Tigers and Toronto Blue Jays are also in the mix for the former Houston Astro, Feinsand reported.

Bregman earned his first Gold Glove Award last season after leading AL third basemen with a .972 fielding percentage in 142 games.

He meanwhile slashed .260/.315/.453 with 26 home runs and 75 RBI.

Bregman also has multiple playoff runs on his resume after contributing to the Astros' World Series championship runs in both 2017 and 2022.

The Mets could be in need of an addition to their infield if first baseman Pete Alonso leaves Queens in free agency.

Mets owner Steve Cohen said during Soto's introductory press conference last week that the club remained "engaged" in talks with Alonso. However, USA Today's Bob Nightengale reported on Tuesday that the New York Yankees are also "engaged in talks" with the veteran first baseman.

The Mets could fill in a potential gap at first base by sliding Mark Vientos from third to first base, given that Vientos played both positions at the Triple-A level.

Brett Baty could then theoretically step in for Vientos at third base, although Mike Puma recently reported for the New York Post that the Mets are receiving calls from other teams interested in the 22-year-old.

Should Alonso walk, and the Mets accept a trade offer for Baty, Bregman could help New York shore up their defense at the hot corner as they prepare to load up for a potential title run in 2025.

The Astros have offered Bregman approximately a six-year, $156 million deal to return to Houston in free agency, per MLB.com's Brian McTaggart. Cohen, who has already flexed the franchise's spending abilities with Soto's record contract, could potentially outbid that offer should the Mets decide to target an addition at third base.
