Joel Sherman NY Post: The MLB teams facing most offseason pain if they fail to deliver big stars. Giants, #1, Cubs, #2, and Yankees, #3, lead the list.  The Mets come in at #8 with Joel stating "Steve Cohen and David Steans said they are not punting on 2024. Thus, can we end up with something that has never fully occurred previously — a full-out New York-New York free-agent battle, in this case for Yamamoto?"
