Entering this offseason, Brandon Nimmo, Drew Smith, Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz ranked as four of the Mets' five longest tenured players. They are all gone. The fifth player heading into the offseason was Jeff McNeil, a trade candidate.

Zack Scott, former Mets GM, is now an agent — not to players, but to coaches and executives. Your favorite team's manager might well have an agent, even if quietly.

To Scott Boras, MLB coaches “are the most underpaid coaching category in professional sports.”

Why Atlanta's position when considering free agents who rejected qualifying offers is different, potential Reds trade targets and more.

In the trade market, Mets lefty starter David Peterson is generating some interest, league sources said. In theory, could be "need-for-need" kind of candidate. But asking price believed to be high.
Tweet card summary image
nytimes.com
Given Peterson's production over the last two seasons and his affordable salary in 2026, the Mets hold a high asking price for the starter.
