Most New York Mets fans are not content with how the 2025 offseason has gone to this point. While the Mets have made some solid additions to the roster,
The New York Mets’ farm system was one of the best in baseball in 2025 by winning percentage (2nd overall), but it also saw top prospects play well and a couple of players break out, putting them in the top prospect conversations.
2025 was not a year particularly kind to Tylor Megill when it comes to the game of baseball. His season, on the surface, was fine but unspectacular. He ended the year with a 3.95 ERA over 14 starts (68.1 innings), striking out a ton of batters (29.2% strikeout rate), but also walking far too many (10.8%).
It is undoubtedly a challenge to compile a list of memories when the season was so forgettable. That said, over the course of a six-month season, there were still plenty of things to celebrate despite the overall disappointment and even if some of the principal characters will be written out of next year’s story.
Given that New York Mets slugger Juan Soto produced one of the best seasons of his career in 2025, it's easy to forget that he came out of the gates very slowly to begin his Mets tenure.
It’s that time of the MLB offseason: executives are on vacation, leaving the market at a standstill. For the Mets, it’s been a disappointing offseason.
The Braves are in agreement with José Azocar on a minor league contract, reports Aram Leighton of Just Baseball. The fleet-footed outfielder will be in camp as a non-roster invitee.
The New York Mets like Tatsuya Imai, who is still meeting interested teams these days, but aren’t seen as favorites to land him. Pitching reinforcements are a must, but assistant general manager Eduardo Brizuela believes the outfield is more of a priority.
During a December 29 live stream, New York Post MLB insider Jon Heyman mentioned two potential destinations where Detroit Tigers ace and two-time reigning Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal might get dealt to if the Tigers decide to trade him.
On Monday, both Robert Murray of Fanside and Jon Heyman of the New York Post held live streams discussing available free agents including Tatsuya Imai.
The number that keeps sticking is not Juan Soto’s contract or even the Mets’ payroll. It is the empty space behind him. Right now, Soto is the only certainty in the New York Mets’ outfield, and that uncertainty has a way of bleeding into everything else about the roster.
America's favorite pastime has more memorable performances than any sport. As such, figuring out which pitchers had the best seasons ever is no easy task.
There appears to be a lot of pressure on the New York Mets to improve their starting rotation right now. Frankly, there's pressure on David Stearns and the rest of New York's front office to make any considerable splash in free agency or via a trade, given how their offseason has gone to this point.
In case you haven’t heard, the 2026 Mets will look very different from the teams we’ve rooted for over the past several years. The four longest-tenured Mets—Brandon Nimmo, Jeff McNeil, Pete Alonso, and Edwin Díaz—are all gone, having either been jettisoned from the team or allowed to walk away.
The sound of Edwin Díaz’s signature trumpets signaled more than a dramatic entrance from the bullpen; they were the overture to a serialized adventure story, the theme song to a Mets career which, from its first moment to its last, proved boundlessly entertaining and unpredictable.
The final weekend of September felt oddly quiet at Citi Field, the kind of quiet that only comes when expectations collapse ahead of schedule. The New York Mets were supposed to be planning rotation matchups and bullpen lanes for another October run.
Perhaps the most compelling trade rumor that has been floated around during this MLB offseason is the fact that two-time reigning AL Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal could be traded from the Detroit Tigers.
The number still jumps off the page. 181.2 innings. A 3.47 ERA. Nearly a strikeout per frame. For Sean Manaea, that 2024 season with the New York Mets felt like a quiet career pivot that suddenly became very loud.
The New York Mets are going to look like a much different ball club come 2026. And now, the Mets are making a peculiar position decision with one of their former top prospects.
The New York Mets have been busy this offseason, attempting to retool their team after a monumental collapse last season. One of their more surprising moves was the trade of Jeff McNeil to the Athletics in exchange for Yordan Rodriguez, a pitching prospect.
The Mets have interest in free agent outfielder Austin Hays, reports Jon Heyman of The New York Post. Hays was previously connected to the Royals but that was before Kansas City signed Lane Thomas and acquired Isaac Collins.
The New York Mets roster is already looking much different from what it did two months ago. The Mets continued moving pieces on Monday by trading infielder Jeff McNeil to the Athletics.
While speaking at a holiday event held at Citi Field on Thursday, Holmes spoke about the fact that closer Edwin Diaz, first baseman Pete Alonso and outfielder Brandon Nimmo all have new MLB homes.
The Mets are in agreement with reliever Kevin Herget on a minor league contract, reports Will Sammon of The Athletic. The Paragon Sports International client will be in camp as a non-roster invitee.
