I disagree with Jessica because I think Nimmo needs to be on this team unless you get a significant upgrade at either SP or 3B, not a #4 starter. But as to the Dom/Pete question I'm surprised no one has ever brought up the Orlando Cepeda/Willie McCovey dilemma of the 1960s. The Giants traded Cepeda for Ray Sadecki, a 26 year old pitcher, a season removed from a 20 win season. Sadecki was a decent starting pitcher who pitched Ok for the Mets from 1970 to 1974. Cepeda continued his HOF career with great years for the Cards and Braves.
You have to sign Jackie Bradley Jr. to a 2 or 3 year deal put Nimmo in left and platoon Alonso and Smith at first base if there is no DH. Even though I personally don't like the DH but as a Mets fan the DH greatly improves the team's offense and defense because then you have Smith playing first and Alonso as the DH.

Personally I’d prefer option 4: Sign JBJ, trade Nimmo as part of a package to get a starting pitcher and a 3rd base upgrade.
