Mets can start working of their 2025 roster - 

Starting today - MLB free agency begins the day after the end of the World Series. Players can't sign with new teams until 5 p.m. ET, five days after the World Series concludes. Teams can make qualifying offers until the fifth day after the World Series. The player then has one week to decide whether to accept.

November 4th - An unsigned minor league player is automatically declared a free-agent at 5 PM (Eastern) on the 5th day after the final game of the World Series (the deadline is 5 PM Eastern on October 15th if the World Series is canceled) if the player has spent all or any part of at least seven separate seasons on a minor league roster.

Mark Vientos: The Player's Tribune - A Letter to Mets Fans. "I’m so pumped for what the future holds. I can’t wait to be a big part of this franchise going forward and to help make sure we give our fans amazing moments to cheer about for years to come.  I feel like that’s what’s next for us. And looking back on this season, I’m just so happy that I got a chance to begin building my story with the Mets this year. It’s already been an incredible journey."

Tim Britton and Will Sammon The Athletic Mets’ free-agent outlook: How much should the Mets pay to bring back Pete Alonso? Once again they do a great job looking at this issue from all sides: "Alonso is unlikely to land the $200 million contract that might have been out there had he hit 50 long balls this past season. His ultimate deal should be within range for the Mets to splurge a bit, knowing he’s likely to shift to DH by the end of it. It’s just a matter of learning how aggressive another team will be on Alonso." (Subscription required)

2008

The Mets waste no time in exercising their $12 million option on Carlos Delgado. After a well-publicized slow start, which strained the relationship with his then-manager Willie Randolph, the 36 year-old first baseman batted .313, blasted 24 homers, and drove in 70 runs during the last three months of the season playing for new skipper Jerry Manuel.

2011

The Mets announce on their Twitter page that the team is planning to move the left- and right-field fences at Citi Field closer to home plate by as much as 12 feet and lower the home-run line to eight feet. The Amazins, who have hit the fewest home runs at home of any major league team since moving into their new ballpark in 2009, will see the number of round-trippers dramatically increase when the new dimensions result in 21 additional homers for the team and 24 more for opponents

Baseball Reference:

1973: Tom Seaver of the New York Mets wins the National League Cy Young Award, the first time the honor has gone to a pitcher with fewer than 20 victories. Seaver finished 19-10 and led the league in ERA (2.08) and strikeouts (251).

2015: In Game 4 of the World Series, the Mets enter the 8th inning with a 3 - 2 lead at home thanks to a good start by rookie Steven Matz and two homers by another rookie, Michael Conforto. But the Royals manufacture one of their specialty late-inning rallies against Tyler Clippard and Jeurys Familia, with 2B Daniel Murphy committing a key error that lets in the tying run. The Royals score three in the inning, and Wade Davis then pitches two scoreless innings to seal the 5 - 3 win, putting Kansas City one win away from the second Championship in its history.
