If Mets are in win-now mode, they shouldn't half step.
They should go all in.
Though I doubt they will, The all in approach I suggest is as follows:

1. Complete Cano / Diaz trade

2. Go after Mike Trout built around a package of Thor and Conforto

3. Sign Evoldi to replace Thor

4. Sign Harper to upgrade from Conforto

5. Sign defensive catcher Maldonado

6. Sign 2 relievers: example Robertson and Miller
Lineup:
1. SS - Rosario
2. 3b - McNeil
3. CF - Trout
4. RF - Harper
5. 2b - Cano
6. 1b -Frazier / Alonso
7. LF - Nimmo
8. C - Maldonado

Starters: DeGrom, Wheeler, Matz, Evoldi, Vargas

Pen: Diaz, Robertson, Miller, Lugo, Gsellman, comp for last 2 spots

This is probably the most unrealistic post I’ve ever seen in this site and that’s saying something.

I agree with a lot of this. That trade for Trout, however, is WAY off. What I would try to do is package Syndergaard and a prospect or two for Bryant. I feel like Syndergaard and Bryant are on the same level talent-wise, and have the same amount of control, but Bryant is an everyday player and has had some injury history. If they bring in Bryant, I think the Mets would become favorites to bring in Harper. That would solidify your outfield with him, Conforto and Nimmo. Mcneil, Cano, Rosario and either Frazier or Alonzo is your infield. You still need to do something at the catcher position, and that probably leaves them out on Grandal, but if they want to go ALL in, they could try for him as well.

Do I think it happens? Absolutely not. But it is a plan that could work if the Wilpons weren't the owners.
