(That means David Peterson is the last Met who played under Wilpon ownership.)

With the trade of Jeff McNeil, the Mets have now moved on from their five longest-tenured players from last season. No one who played for the Mets last decade is still with them.

The Mets once again tap into their favorite talent pipeline: recent Yankees.

Baseball will now centralize all in-game data & tech at minor league level as they have with Statcast at the major league level. This will bring the bottom up, but critics say it's anti-spending, anti-innovation, and punitive to the teams that have invested in the future of the game. t.co/0UuQei8EtW

Under pressure, can Mets, Padres line up on a trade that could help both clubs? With Will Sammon and Dennis Lin. www.nytimes.com/athletic/688...

Edwin Díaz will wear No. 3 with the Dodgers. "I'm really happy that we're here."

Pete Alonso will wear No. 25 for the Orioles. "Hell yeah," he said as he put on Baltimore's jersey for the first time.

It's hard to imagine the Mets without Pete Alonso:

We've never had a father and son in the broadcasters' wing of the Hall of Fame ... until now Congratulations to Joe Buck, just announced as the winner of the 2026 Ford Frick Award His father, Jack Buck, won in 1987. What an amazing family legacy the Bucks will be celebrating in Cooperstown in July

Tuesday was the kind of brutal winter day the Mets were not supposed to endure anymore. Whatever pressure David Stearns felt after one of the most disappointing seasons in club history has only been amplified by a meandering start to the winter.

The Mets did not move up in the draft lottery. Thus, their first-round pick drops 10 spots to No. 27.

David Stearns today in Orlando: --The Mets will not meet with Alonso on Tuesday. They believe the sides know each other well enough. --The trade market has been very active, including in "need-for-need" big-league trades like the Nimmo-for-Semien one. --"We are in the market for an OF."

Contained within, one part of the dynamic that needs to change, according to one of the coaches just let go.

“I’ve been around long enough to know how things work and there was going to be collateral damage. To be honest with you, there should be.” The Mets are overhauling their coaching staff:

How the Mets lost their groove: Inside baseball’s biggest collapse, with @willsammon.bsky.social:

The Mets stumbled for the right words late Sunday, in the wake of a different kind of collapse. They settled on the right one, the only one. Failure.
