At this point it should be obvious to everyone that the Mets are trying to thread the needle with their moves this offseason. They’re trying to assemble a team capable of making the playoffs this year, while maintaining payroll flexibility for the future. My opinion is that the flexibility is for 2026.
With the additions of Harrison Bader, Adrian Houser, Sean Manaea, Adam Ottavino, Luis Severino and Tyrone Taylor, the Mets have added just under $50 million in salary for players making above $2 million per year. With the luxury tax penalty of 110% that the Mets find themselves saddled with, that nearly $50 million is nearly $105 million spent this offseason on new additions. And we might see one more move to add even more money to this equation.
