We never really know what’s going to happen in a given offseason. Well, maybe we could have said “nothing” for the 1979 Mets and been more or less right. But we knew last year that the Mets were going to spend a lot of money – even if we didn’t necessarily know on which players – and we don’t have that this go round. They could open up Steve Cohen’s checkbook once again and play at the top of the market. Or they could sign multiple players, even if they’re closer to the discount bin. We know moves will be made, as they can’t go into the year with fewer than 30 players on the 40-man roster.
Below is the list of FanGraphs’ top 50 free agents. Without regards to an overall plan – no, the Mets won’t sign 20 or more of these guys – here’s a sentence or two with my thoughts with each player.
Shohei Ohtani – Before September, he was my top target. Now, with the injury which will keep him off the mound all of 2024, my interest has cooled considerably.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto – It will be disappointing to me if the Mets don’t sign him
