There's so much to like about Hosmer: A three-time Gold Glove winner, only 28, coming off perhaps his best all-around season, hitting .318 with a .385 on-base percentage and 25 home runs, and has been considered the leader of those Royals teams that went to back-to-back World Series and won the title in 2015. However, super-agent Scott Boras is already talking about asking for eight years and $200 million, in part because of his intangibles. And Boras will surely expect more than the seven years, $161 million the Orioles paid Chris Davis two winters ago. Hosmer is everything the Mets need, but even if they got creative and traded Dom Smith, they wouldn't meet the price tag.
