Mets Wait For Zobrist Decision

In an offseason that will see them lose Yoenis Cespedes and Daniel Murphy in all likelihood, the Mets have gone to the Winter Meetings with one clear goal: To sign Ben Zobrist.

The Winter Meetings kicked off yesterday and will really heat up today. Zobrist is said to be hopeful in having a decision by the end of the week.

The Giants, Nationals, and Braves have all met with the super utilityman. The Giants would be a great fit, as they have a history of winning and are always contenders. However, with the upstart Diamondbacks and the Dodgers also figuring into the mix out West, winning could be a more uphill battle.

The Braves are not in a position to win, so that probably knocks them out, as Zobrist has a strong desire to play for a winner.

The Nationals have all the talent on paper, but can they top what the Mets have to offer?  A World Series team with the best pitching in the NL?

We will find out this week.
