#Mets’ Trevor May dreaming of George Springer and maybe more

Reliever Trevor May, as the Mets’ first new arrival this offseason, has gotten to enjoy a full overview of the transformation of the team’s roster.

And he’s hoping new owner Steve Cohen isn’t finished, with the possibility of signing George Springer still looming. The 31-year-old Springer remains the top free-agent outfielder on the market, and would provide the Mets with a right-handed bat and improved defense in center field.

“I am going to keep my fingers crossed and just hope that it happens,” May told The Post on Thursday. “I think that would be — I don’t even want to call it a cherry on top, because I don’t know if they would even be finished at that point — but [Springer] would be phenomenal. I can’t imagine what the buzz in the Mets’ world would be with the fans, I can’t even wrap my head around it.”

The Twins’ center fielder when May was with Minnesota was Byron Buxton, who provided Gold Glove-caliber defense.

“One of my favorite players of all time,” May said. “So when you can get that kind of defense, which Springer definitely has and I don’t think we can say enough about his hitting and how big of a threat he is in the box, too. Having a really dynamic center fielder is big for a team and [Springer] is one of the best out there.”

So far this offseason, the Mets have added the right-handed May on a two-year deal worth $15.5 million and James McCann on a four-year deal worth $40.6 million. Last week, the Mets finalized a blockbuster trade that brought Francisco Lindor and Carlos Carrasco from Cleveland. The rotation was also bolstered in November, when Marcus Stroman accepted the Mets’ qualifying offer worth $18.9 million.

May is familiar with Lindor and Carrasco from competing against them in the AL Central. He expects both players to upgrade the Mets’ talent-level and clubhouse.

“[Lindor] is a leader, he is a winner,” May said. “He was on the team that went to the World Series [in 2016], and then maybe teams that weren’t as talented that found a way to win and he’s a big part of that.

“Cookie is the same way. He was there for the not-as-good Cleveland Indians teams and then developed into a rock in that rotation and the word around the league is they are two of the best guys there are, so it’s just going to be really great.”

With pitchers and catchers scheduled to report on Feb. 17 for spring training, May said he isn’t overly concerned the pandemic will disrupt the season.

“Making adjustments is easier now than it was last year, so the things I would be worried about are not as big a factor,” May said. “I spent so much brain energy on it last year getting fired up about stuff that I don’t have it in me anymore, I just want to play baseball. I am letting the excitement to be part of this team override that for the moment.”

May’s focus until spring training begins will be the Fan Controlled Football League, in which he recently became part owner of the Zappers, one of the league’s four teams — with former Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel at quarterback.

The league, which debuts Feb. 13 with games streamed on Twitch, bills itself as the first pro sports league that lets fans call the shots, including deciding on plays in real time through a mobile app. Already, fans have selected logos and color schemes for the team.

“A lot of things are just going to be decided by the fans,” May said. “Those people, they are in five fantasy football leagues and they love to just root for every guy on every team for whatever reason, because they are on their teams, and they wish they had more control over their targets, now they have that control.”
