The New York Mets missed out on the MLB playoffs in 2025, finishing with an 83–79 record under manager Carlos Mendoza. While the Mets finished above .500, the team clearly is not good enough to compete in its current state, as they went 28–37 after the All-Star break.
With David Stearns entering his third offseason as president of baseball operations, the Mets are expected to be aggressive in reshaping the roster.
Pitching depth remains a priority, especially after a season plagued by injuries and inconsistency. The front office is also weighing long-term decisions around first baseman Pete Alonso, who is entering free agency, while exploring upgrades across the infield and outfield.
