Mets Morning News: Now What?

Meet the Mets

In this time of predictions and projections, it doesn’t seem to outlandish to imagine David Stearns’ next big move being to call up the Padres and work out a trade.

The Mets are reportedly open to the idea of trading sometimes-DH, sometimes-infielder Mark Vientos this offseason with his positions in the lineup suddenly becoming more filled.

Around the National League East

Be grateful: Marcell Ozuna had an awful 2025 with the Atlanta Braves and you may never have to think about him again if all goes right.

With Kyle Schwarber back in the mix and Nick Castellanos reportedly on his way out, the Phillies find themselves in a position where they can really put together a new and better outfield.

Around Major League Baseball

Merrill Kelly is returning to the Arizona Diamondbacks after a quick detour to Texas on a two-year deal worth $40M.

Folks do we love old guys? Well if you do please consider signing any of the 10 oldest free agents to contracts with the money you can spare.

Level of interest can never be known for sure, but at the very least the San Francisco Giants have checked in on former Dodger and current free agent Cody Bellinger.

The Red Sox, the Yankees, and the Orioles are engaged in an AL East battle for the services of free agent starter Michael King, who hopes to make his decision soon.

Despite some rumors over the weekend, Tyler Glasnow isn’t going to be leaving Los Angeles or the Dodgers rotation any time soon.

Rangers General Manager and Old Friend Chris Young made it very clear that Texas has no intentions of shopping or trading Corey Seager.
