The New York Mets continued to make some moves to reshape their roster, and the time to make improvements has to be coming soon.
So far this winter, the Mets have been doing more subtracting from their roster than adding to it. However, while there might be some panic about the moves that New York has been making, a major shakeup was to be expected following the collapse in 2025.
The Mets have elected to move on from multiple players who have been part of their franchise for the last several years, with Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz leaving in free agency, and Brandon Nimmo being traded to the Texas Rangers. Recently, another talented member of the team was traded, with Jeff McNeil heading to the Athletics.
With a significant roster shakeup, there are some openings for the Mets to fill in the lineup. So far, their main addition has been Jorge Polanco, but there is still more work to do. While Polanco will provide some versatility in the infield, the pressing need now is going to be to upgrade the outfield.
