"No MLB team has had as interesting an offseason as the New York Mets. Gone are longtime lineup anchors Pete Alonso, Brandon Nimmo and Jeff McNeil, plus closer Edwin Diaz and designated hitter Starling Marte, a group that played a combined 36 seasons with the Mets. Joining the team: Bo Bichette, Freddy Peralta, Marcus Semien, Jorge Polanco, Luis Robert Jr., Devin Williams and Luke Weaver."
"So, Stearns set out to remake the roster. This certainly doesn't feel like Plan A, but credit Stearns for his flurry of moves this week that saved the offseason. After the Mets lost out on Kyle Tucker, they reacted quickly to sign Bichette. While not a perfect fit for the roster, he'll fit nicely alongside Francisco Lindor and Soto at the top of the lineup."
The Mets moved on from Pete Alonso, Brandon Nimmo, Jeff McNeil, Edwin Diaz and Starling Marte, who combined for 36 seasons with the team. New additions include Bo Bichette, Freddy Peralta, Marcus Semien, Jorge Polanco, Luis Robert Jr., Devin Williams and Luke Weaver. The team finished 83-79, tied for the final wild card but losing the tiebreaker, despite holding the second-highest payroll and missing October baseball. After signing Juan Soto and seeing Alonso improve, the Mets scored two fewer runs and endured a pitching collapse, going 21-32 over the final two months. The front office traded for Robert, acquired Peralta with prospects and signed Bichette to remake the roster.
