Brodie Van Wagenen believes the Mets already have addressed their primary needs this offseason and have the pieces to contend in and even take the National League East ... and that's without signing Bryce Harper or Manny Machado.
That said, with what he's lacked in blockbuster signings, Van Wagenen made up for in confidence. For instance, he's not worried about the Phillies signing Machado or Harper. He encouraged the competition.
"I think that we're a good team," he said Wednesday. "I think that we're a complete team. I think that we're a balanced team ... and I look forward to showing people that we're a team to be reckoned with. I fully expect us to be competitive and to be a winning team, and our goal is to win a championship and it starts with the division, so come get us."
