Overview
- The departures are now clear: Brandon Nimmo was traded to Texas for Marcus Semien, Edwin Díaz agreed to a three-year, $69 million deal with the Dodgers, and Pete Alonso is headed to the Orioles on a five-year, $155 million contract pending a physical.
- New York has added Devin Williams on a three-year pact to bolster the bullpen, leaving first base, additional relief help and front‑of‑rotation innings as primary needs.
- Cohen told the New York Post there is “lots of offseason left,” while David Stearns emphasized defense, youth and shorter deals, with reporting characterizing record closer contracts as off the table.
- Reports link the Mets to potential solutions such as Cody Bellinger, Paul Goldschmidt (in a platoon with Jeff McNeil), and a trade for Willson Contreras at first base, plus outfield options like Kyle Tucker, Lars Nootbaar and Ramón Laureano, and first-base fits Kazuma Okamoto or Munetaka Murakami.
- Wider market activity could shape New York’s path, with reports of serious Dodgers–Tigers talks on Tarik Skubal and the Orioles pursuing Brewers ace Freddy Peralta.
