A throughline of the early owner Steve Cohen years was that the New York Mets strived to be competitive while building up their farm system. The goal was to bridge to future younger players by relying on short term, high annual average value (AAV) bridge deals. They also preferred to stay away from players with a qualifying offer in order to protect their drafts. This meant that in free agency...
Adrian Morejón, RP/SP Position: RP B/T: L/L Age: 27 (2/27/1999) 2026 Traditional Stats: 9-3, 2.83 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, 86 IP, 107 SO, 28 BB, 3 SV, 28 HLD 2026 Advanced Stats: 145 ERA+, 30.4% K%, 8.0% BB%, 2.33 xERA, 2.37 FIP, 2.64 xFIP, 2.8 fWAR, 1.9 bWAR Rundown Adrian Morejón has been one of the best relievers in the game and likely will have a strong market, even if he has the qualifying offer...
With the MLB offseason officially underway, let’s take a look at the state of the New York Mets’ 40-man roster before they head into an important short-term and long-term decision making stretch. While 144 players filed for free agency on Thursday, none of them were Mets because they traded away all of their pending free agents at the deadline. Bo Bichette has a player option, but...
Does David Stearns have a blanket policy that he will never extend a contract offer longer than three years? Of course not, that would be ridiculous. One of his first big offers as the president of baseball operations with the Mets was to offer Yoshinobu Yamamoto a 13-year contract worth $325 million. He signed Juan Soto to a 15-year contract worth $765 million. But those were Cohen, not Stearns...

At the Mets’ end-of-season press conference, president of baseball operations David Stearns noted that, while in the early stages, Jorge Polanco’s rehab was going “very well,” though he could not commit to Polanco being able to play 120 games at first base in 2027. “I think we need to wait and see where he is in spring training,” Stearns said. “I know...

Steve Cohen Role: Owner Grade: B 2026 Review It’s hard to fault an owner who spends more on his team than anyone else in baseball. And that’s exactly what Steve Cohen did, enabling the New York Mets to enter the 2026 season with the highest payroll in baseball. But, as this year’s Tampa Bay Rays/Milwaukee Brewers World Series goes to show, money doesn’t always equal winning in sports....
The New York Mets’ 40-man roster essentially stands at 43 players at the moment. Once the World Series ends the Mets will have five days to add any players on the 60-day injured list to the 40-man roster and decide who to remove. The Mets have three players that will have to be added: Jorge Polanco, Tylor Megill, and Reed Garrett. All three are expected to be added. The 40-man roster will...
Another season is coming to a close – the World Series is here. The Milwaukee Brewers and the Tampa Bay Rays, both vying for their first championship. Who do we think will win? In how many games? Who will get MVP? Here are our thoughts. Robert Colonna As someone who married into a family of Rays fans and will be in Florida with my wife’s family for Halloween I would love to say the...
