Mets Aim for Major Offseason Moves to Bolster Pitching Rotation

With significant financial flexibility, the Mets plan to aggressively pursue top pitching talent and address key free-agent decisions.

Mets President David Stearns emphasizes the need to add multiple starting pitchers through free agency or trades due to several key players entering free agency.
Pete Alonso, a pivotal player for the Mets, is set to test the free-agent market, with the team expressing hope to retain him while acknowledging the process.
The Mets have over $100 million coming off their payroll, providing substantial financial flexibility to pursue top-tier free agents like Corbin Burnes and Max Fried.
Stearns aims to achieve 'sustainable competitiveness' for the Mets, focusing on strategic investments without compromising future financial flexibility.
The team is considering various offseason strategies, including the potential pursuit of outfielder Juan Soto, to strengthen the roster for the 2025 season.
