Report: Mets Sign Relief Pitcher Austin Adams "According to Anthony DiComo on X/Twitter, the New York Mets have signed relief pitcher Austin Adams to a one year deal. The 32 year old Adams pitched last year for the Arizona Diamondbacks going 0-1 with a 5.71 ERA in 24 games, 17.1 innings. He fractured his right ankle in August, spending the remainder of the season on the IL."

The Mets have not been engaged in trade talks for Juan Soto, Tyler Glasnow, and just about other player that would cost significant prospect capital in a deal, per @martinonyc:

Pete Alonso needs to be a Met for life. This guy is not only a generational power hitter, who will shatter every Mets’ power record, he is an even better human being

- Mets add Austin Adams to 'pen mix on 1-yr deal
- 'I hope this is the year': Wagner on 9th chance at Cooperstown
- Each team's most recent Rule 5 keeper - For the Mets it was LHP Sean Gilmartin who was drafted in 2014 and "excelled in his first season as a reliever, pitching to a 2.67 ERA across 50 appearances, Gilmartin struggled to build upon that success in each of the next two years and was designated for assignment by the Mets in June ’17."
MLB.com:
- Presenting 6 trade proposals for Juan Soto - MLB has the Mets giving the Padres: C Francisco Alvarez, 2B/SS/OF Ronny Mauricio (MLB Pipeline's No. 87 overall prospect), RHP Mike Vasil (Mets' No. 9 prospect) - IMO, quite a lot for a one year rental and I think Alvarez is untouchable.
- One Intriguing Rule 5 Draft Option for each team. - For the Mets they have Coleman Crow - "New York acquired the 22-year-old right-hander from the Angels in the Eduardo Escobar deal, but he's yet to pitch for any Mets affiliate after undergoing Tommy John surgery in the summer. That rehab process likely left him off the 40-man for now, but a Rule 5 club that liked Crow -- a four-pitch starter whose best pitch is his slider -- could draft and stash the hurler with a more likely goal to stick in 2025."

1998 | The Mets sign 31 year-old Gold Glove third baseman Robin Ventura (.263, 21, 91) to a four-year, 32 million dollar free-agent deal. The former White Sox infielder joins two-time Gold Glove shortstop Rey Ordonez, Edgardo Alfonzo, shifted from the hot corner to second, and first baseman John Olerud to make up one of the best fielding infields in history according to Sports Illustrated. |
1998 | Due to the acquisition of All-Star backstop Mike Piazza, the Mets deal fan favorite Todd Hundley, along with right-hander Arnold Gooch, to the Dodgers for outfielder Roger Cedeno and catcher Charles Johnson. New York then sends Johnson to Baltimore to obtain closer Armando Benitez. |
2000 | Turk Wendell, who wears uniform number 99, agrees to a three-year deal worth $9,999,999.99 with the Mets. The New York reliever had asked that his pact include an option year in which he would play for free, but that plan was unworkable because baseball's collective bargaining agreement sets a $200,000 minimum salary. |

2018 - Rumors of a blockbuster trade between the Mariners and Mets emerge today, with Seattle sending 2B Robinson Cano and closer Edwin Diaz and a lot of money to New York in return for two veterans, OF Jay Bruce and P Anthony Swarzak, and three prospects, Gerson Bautista, Justin Dunn and Jarred Kelenic. The M's are in the midst of a purge of high-priced veterans after missing the postseason yet again last season.
