With the Mets\u2019 season having come to an end on Sunday via the time-honored tradition of losing to the lowly Marlins to miss the playoffs on the final day of the season, we Mets fans are just a few days into a long offseason. Coming off the team\u2019s deep run through the playoffs last year, the extra month will feel particularly long this time around. But while we wait for the rest of baseball to wrap it up so we can move on to the offseason, let\u2019s take a quick look at the Mets\u2019 current 40-man roster and the status of each of the players on it. We\u2019ll start with pitchers today.<\/p>\n
Huascar Brazob\u00e1n: Having bounced between the Mets\u2019 major league roster and Triple-A Syracuse this year, the 35-year-old has options remaining and is under team control through the end of the 2029 season\u2014so long as the Mets tender him a contract at the end of each of those years.<\/p>\n
Griffin Canning (IL-60): Signed to a one-year deal for the 2025 season, Canning was a pleasant surprise early in the year before rupturing his Achilles, missed the rest of the season, and will hit free agency with a still-long recovery ahead of him.<\/p>\n
Alex Carrillo: The 28-year-old throws hard and has options remaining, but he could be a roster casualty once the Mets free up spots for other moves, including the protection of some players from the Rule 5 draft.<\/p>\n
Edwin D\u00edaz: Whether or not D\u00edaz opts out of the remaining three years of his five-year, $102 million contract is one of the biggest questions facing the Mets this offseason, but he\u2019s become a cornerstone of the franchise that would be difficult to replace if he were to depart.<\/p>\n
Reed Garrett: After breaking out with the Mets early in the 2024 season, Garrett finished each of the past two seasons with an ERA in the upper threes, but more importantly, he\u2019s facing Tommy John surgery and likely won\u2019t pitch in a big league game again until 2027.<\/p>\n
Justin Hagenman: Having eaten some innings for the Mets at the major league level this year, Hagenman actually had a better ERA in the big leagues than he did in Syracuse. He has options remaining heading into next year, but he\u2019s another pitcher who could be removed from the forty this offseason.<\/p>\n
Ryan Helsley: One of the worst-performing trade deadline acquisitions in recent Mets history, Helsley\u2019s set to hit free agency.<\/p>\n
Clay Holmes: With a season of starting under his belt, Holmes figures to be penciled in to the Mets\u2019 rotation plans for 2026, ideally with an eye on getting him deeper into games and not limiting his pitch counts so drastically in the second half of the season.<\/p>\n
Max Kranick (IL-60): Tommy John surgery will have Kranick out for quite a while, and it wouldn\u2019t be surprising to see the team cut him this winter to free up a roster spot.<\/p>\n
Sean Manaea: Coming off an injury-plagued first half and poor performance in the second half, Manaea is set for minor elbow surgery that everyone hopes will have him looking much more like his 2024 self over the second and third years of his contract.<\/p>\n
Nolan McLean: If you had to set the Mets\u2019 rotation for 2026 right now, McLean would be the team\u2019s Opening Day starter without hesitation.<\/p>\n
Tylor Megill (IL-60): This year was the fifth season that saw Megill spend at least some of his time in the big leagues, but Tommy John surgery will likely keep him out for the entirety of the 2026 season.<\/p>\n
