    OT: New York Mets 2025-2026 Off Season Thread

    I dont expect Polanco to be as good as Pete when digging throws out of the dirt. However, he's a 10 year veteran who's always been an above average fielder. I do expect him to have more range, be more accurate on throws, and be more reactive on hard hit balls than Pete. I could be completely...

    I appreciate Pete as a player. He was a classic power hitter, who played hard everyday, but was a terrible defender. I wish Pete the best with Baltimore. Polanco is expected to hit 25+ hrs and not get our starters/relievers injured on bad throws. I'm not expecting a huge drop-off at 1B because...

    I hadn't heard that Vientos was designated as the backup 1B. Why wouldn't Polanco be better than the worst rated defensive 1B in the league?

    If they're league average at both positions, then they'll be significantly better than what we had last year. Alonso was the lowest rated defensive 1B in the league and the three headed monster at third didn't work well either...

    https://risingapple.com/ny-mets-trio-15-million-more-stat-projections I thought this was an interesting statistical way to look at how the team projects to be better with the new players.

    I would bat Soto ahead of Bo. His OBP is 30 points higher than Bo’s. If they want to walk Soto 100+ times then let them face a .300+ average guy. Polanco should be the greatest beneficiary of having those two bat ahead of him. I’m expecting a 25hr/40 2B year from him. I’m going to miss Pete...

    I think the Mets expect Benge to make the club out of spring training. He probably ends up being the forth OF, while Taylor ends up starting in LF. That could quickly change, if he shows that he can hit. If they need to grab another OF bat a month or two into the season, they’ll have options in...

    https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2026/01/mets-to-acquire-freddy-peralta.html I think they’re finished for the winter. It’s a bit of an overpay, but Peralta said he’s open to an extension. If they can get a short term deal done, that would be stellar. Peralta and McLean at the top and one of...
