Joel Sherman NY Post: Mets should think long and hard before any potential Carlos Carrasco trade. "The Mets are listening to trade offers on Carlos Carrasco...Trading Carrasco would be a baseball decision...Removing Carrasco eliminates a trustworthy starting arm in what is for the Mets as much of a win-now season as any team."
Mike Puma NY Post: Mets now shifting free agency attention to solidifying bullpen. "Other names the Mets could still pursue on the free-agent market — in addition to or instead of Ottavino — include Corey Knebel, Andrew Chafin, Michael Fulmer and Craig Kimbrel. "
Danny Abriano SNY.TV: On the Mets' historic week of signings and what should be next for roster. What does it all mean, and what is left on the to-do list ahead of the 2023 season? Danny suggests: "Bolster the bullpen a bit more", "Be opportunistic while exploring potential trades", "Figure out how to add punch to the lineup".
