Tim Britton The Athletic: What could the 2025 Mets look like at different payroll budgets?  Tim does a very thorough look at all the different payroll budgets including - "The Mets have about $70 million to operate under the initial luxury tax threshold this winter. That would leave room for one large expenditure that isn’t named Juan Soto, with others filled via a significant trade or two...In general, though, to field a championship contender while staying below the first luxury-tax threshold, the Mets will need to part with meaningful prospect talent."
