Overview
- Vice president and assistant GM Eduardo Brizuela told fans there is nothing to worry about and urged patience following the sweeping offseason changes.
- He said the front office is actively seeking another outfielder and, overall, plans to add two starting pitchers and two outfielders through free agency, trades, the minors, or internal options.
- New York shed core veterans Pete Alonso (Orioles), Edwin Díaz (Dodgers), Brandon Nimmo (Rangers), and Jeff McNeil, then added complementary pieces Marcus Semien, Jorge Polanco, Devin Williams, Luke Weaver, and prospect Yordan Rodriguez.
- Coverage highlights significant gaps that remain, with the outfield thin and the rotation still needing a high-end arm to stabilize the staff.
- Reports describe a strategy favoring shorter commitments, roster flexibility, and prospect protection, and note a coaching reset that includes parting with pitching coach Jeremy Hefner as the club navigates a costly pitching and outfield market.
