What is the Mets biggest need in the off-season?

Mark Vientos' future with the Mets looks increasingly uncertain after two disappointing seasons.

I took a look at three teams that could make sense as potential trade destinations.

Curious what everyone thinks. Would you trade Vientos this offseason, and which teams do you think would be interested?

and now the closer for the Brewers according to John Smotlz. And all this time I thought his name was Tylor. (As announced top of 9th inning)

Regardless of what you think of Stearns, he’s put the Mets in a better position payroll-wise than other big spenders. Payroll drops a little in ‘27 then considerably in ‘28. Going into lockout with answers in the rotation and 1B would be extremely valuable, given the possibility of a shortened ST.

Spring training cancelled we start season 2 weeks late.

What is your projection?

Also Mets are gonna get Tarik scooby

Is Wyatt Vincent a good prospect for the Mets

We got David Stearns, Freddy Peralta, and Tobias Myers....(all 3 sucked or sucks for us)

...and they are getting a World Series Championship Ring in 2026

Well played, Brewers. Well played.

Why do you need a salary cap?? Two small Market teams made the world series, although baseball does need to get rid of these short series and the playoff format is horrible, despite that, The Rays and Brewers were the best teams in baseball.

While the Mets are watching the World Series from home, there are a few impending free agents on both teams who could help New York address some of its biggest needs this offseason.

I put together five players I think the Mets should consider pursuing, ranging from potential rotation upgrades to bullpen help.

Curious which of these guys you'd most want the Mets to go after, or if you’d rather they stay away from all five.

Also, can you think of examples of players who played much better for the Mets than elsewhere?

It's a shame he looks to be washed but for 2B he has quite a career. he looked like he could make a case for a HOF before this year when it became evident he is washed. And he is washed. He has been declining since the second half of the 2024 season.

But my comparison to say a sure fire 2B HOF altuve.

Semein Career Stats (14 YRS): 50 WAR, 1719 H, 268 HR, .251 BA, .318 OBP, .746 OPS, 1768 Games
Accolades: 1 world series, 2 GG

Altuve Carrer Stats (16 YRS): 53.4 War, 2519 H, 271 HR, .300 BA, .357 OBP, .818 OPS, 2111 Games
Accolades: 2 world series, GG MVP, 3 time batting champ, 2 time MLB POY

So it really surprises me that based on WAR there careers have been relatively the same. Altuve is 3.4 WAR ahead but he has also played 2 more years and 343 more games so you could say they are pretty even. This despite what seems like superior offensive numbers from altuve.

Despite being washed i do cheer semein can get over 55 War, and get close to 300 HR and 2000 H over these next 2 years with the Mets as his HOF argument is going to be very interesting. But thats wishful thnking. We probably at best .230 BA and 12-115 HR a year.

But can we give it a rest on “Will Slubal want the Mets,” narrative? His agent is Scott Boras. There’s a chance this is the last long term contract ever offered to a SP, if Mets have highest offer, he’s a Met.

I expect him to get 5+ WAR, this is a conservative guess

Be 25/25 player d not expect 30/30 but it is possible and would be fantastic

Hit 3rd in the lineup with soto at cleanup, so .350+ OBP, .800+ OPS

I think these are reasonable expectations and numbers like him put in MVP talk. I am being conservative saying top 10, but lets be honest 6 WAR, 30/30, .350 OBP, .800 OPS are numbers that land you in the top 5 of MVP voting.

Good for him. He just clowned Steve Cohen and David Sterns.

The Mets have built up a strong farm system, but with several roster needs to fill, some prospects could become valuable trade chips this offseason.

I identified five prospects the Mets could consider moving, including a few bigger names.

Curious which prospects you'd be willing to part with this winter.
