MLB Rumors — Man, the GM Meetings are absolutely ripping with MLB rumors this year. Much more than usual. That doesn’t mean there’ll be a ton of early movement (I think it’ll just be a normal offseason in that respect). But I had about 50 tabs open this morning with reports and rumors out of Las Vegas.
For your convenience, I’ve collected some of the highlights from those stories, alongside my own perspective, below. Let’s dive in!
Starting Pitcher Trade Market
No surprises here...
Meet the Mets Tim Britton asked the question for the Mets this offseason: if not Pete Alonso at first, then who? David Stearns was speaking at the GM Meetings and he stated that Carson Benge is going to have a chance to make the major league roster out of Spring Training next year. Stearns made […]
Welcome to the second edition of Tuesday Top Ten, an offseason series which attempts to rank specific moments, players, games, or other nostalgic occurrences from throughout Mets history. The previous ranking looked at the Mets’ best World Series performers as the Blue Jays and Dodgers battled for a championship. With the offseason officially underway, this […]
We can talk about Grimace, OMG, the playoff pumpkin, and any number of gimmicks that defined the Mets’ magical 2024 season. But at the end of the day, to get to within two wins of the World Series, you need contributions from the expected (Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonso, Brandon Nimmo, etc.) and, more importantly, the […]
Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space. This week, we chat with friend of the pod Jen Ramos-Eisen about the fledgling Women’s Pro Baseball League ahead of […]
Meet the Mets Will Sammon shared some Mets notes ahead of the GM Meetings, including what he’s hearing on Pete Alonso’s future and the potential for a Kodai Senga trade. Senga no longer has a full no-trade clause and is considered an intriguing ‘buy-low’ option for some teams, though it’s unclear whether the Mets are […]
It’s that time of year again! The offseason is upon us, and as is tradition here at Amazin’ Avenue, we turn to our community to do something that’s always a lot of fun: the Amazin’ Avenue Offseason Plan Contest—commonly referred to as the AAOP. If you’re unfamiliar, here’s our finalist post from last season’s contest, just so […]
Entering the year, it seemed as though time was rapidly running out for Brett Baty. The 25-year-old had not lived up to his potential since making his major league debut in 2022, and last season saw him being firmly supplanted by Mark Vientos as the Mets’ top third base option. Another mediocre season would likely […]
Meet the Mets As David Stearns gets ready to participate in the General Manager Meetings this week, the recently opted-out Edwin Diaz and Pete Alonso are the highest profile situations he has to deal with one way or another. During the upcoming awards week, Juan Soto is the only Met who can potentially win an […]

MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo recapped the noteworthy things that occurred during the first week of the offseason. Around the National League East What does Bryce Harper need to […]
A couple of weeks ago, I asked who are the most hateable teams from a Braves fan perspective. The Phillies and Mets are run away favorites. So much so that they have already advanced in the bracket. The question now is who joins them in next Sunday’s playoff. Your top two vote-getters will advance. I’m […]
Welcome to Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series, the new/old favorite from Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore. This week, Brian and Chris recap a busy few weeks of very minor moves and celebrate some Met award winners.

Meet the Mets Lorinda de Roulet, daughter of Mets original owner Joan Whitney Payson and the first woman to oversee day-to-day operations of a major league team when she chaired the Mets board of directors in the 1970s, died on Oct. 26, according to club historian Jay Horwitz. She was 95 years old. The Athletic’s […]
Overview Voting overview 2025 review Jeff Brigham came to the Snakes via a minor league deal signed in December 2024. He had last pitched in the major leagues in 2023 with the New York Mets, but after a largely ineffective season with them, he was non-tendered. The Twins signed him to a minor league deal […]
Thanks to a 2024 season that saw him post a 1.07 ERA in 25.1 innings with High-A Brooklyn, a 2.45 ERA in 62.1 innings with Double-A Binghamton, and a 7.53 ERA in 28.2 innings with Triple-A Syracuse, Amazin’ Avenue ranked Brandon Sproat the Mets top prospect coming into the 2025 season. Far from a slam […]
When Jeremiah Jackson arrived in the Orioles organization as a minor league signing around this time last year, there was not much fanfare. At that point, he was a 24-year-old who had never made it above the Double-A level and his most recent season with the Mets did not suggest he was on the way […]
Meet the Mets Juan Soto and Pete Aloso won National League Silver Slugger Awards at their respective positions, while Francisco Lindor saw Diamondbacks shortstop Geraldo Perdomo take home the silverware at shortstop. In news that came as no surprise, the Mets tendered a qualifying offer to Edwin Díaz. The Mets claimed José Castillo, the left-handed […]
The New York Mets continue to round out their coaching staff, hiring Tim Leiper to be their third base coach, replacing Mike Sarbaugh. Leiper, whose most recent coaching job came as the San Diego Padres’ third base coach last season, has a wealth of experience in baseball. The California native’s baseball career began as a […]
Two of the three Mets hitters who were finalists for National League Silver Slugger Awards have won them, as Juan Soto was one of the three outfielders to get the award, while Pete Alonso won the award at first base. Francisco Lindor, who was a finalist at shortstop, lost out to Geraldo Perdomo of the […]
The Mets have tendered a qualifying offer to Edwin Díaz, a move that was very much expected once Díaz decided to opt out of the remainder of his contract and hit free agency. The 31-year-old reliever is coming off a fantastic season that saw him finish with a 1.63 ERA in 66.1 innings of work […]
The Mets have claimed infielder Ji-Hwan Bae off waivers from the Pirates and left-handed reliever José Castillo off waivers from the Orioles, and infielder Nick Madrigal, who spent the 2025 season with the Mets but on the injured list, has elected free agency. Bae was convicted by a South Korean court of assaulting his then-girlfriend […]
The Colorado Rockies have worked out a deal to hire Cleveland Browns chief strategy officer Paul DePodesta, according to ESPN.

In July of 2021, DePodesta […]
