Mets Looking at Lawton as third option

Mets may be going after Twins Outfielder if they can't get Mondesi or Damon

The Mets are looking at the Twins outfielder right now as a possible leadoff hitter and right fielder. Lawton, who had an on base percentage above .400 last year would be a quality leadoff hitter if it weren't for the fact that he hits third in Minnesota. Lawton would come at a low price for the Mets and may be the best fit of the three options, Damon and Mondesi being the other two. Damon becomes a free agent at the end of this season and Mondesi may come at a price too high.
