Abbey Mastracco NY Daily News: Juan Soto reminds Ron Darling of Albert Pujols. "'Albert Pujols was, at that time, considered the greatest hitter in the sport,' Darling told the Daily News this week. 'Well, I think that’s what you have here in Soto.'...If the Mets do get the right fielder, Darling thinks they should bring back Pete Alonso for protection in the lineup." (Subscription Required)

The Athletic: What’s next in MLB free agency? Bowden on Soto, Burnes, Adames, Santander and more.  "you’re the Mets, how do you pivot (if you) go 0-2 in the Soto/Alonso sweepstakes? — Chris T....The Mets’ pivot that makes sense to me in that scenario would be to land two starting pitchers out of the group of Burnes, Fried, Buehler and Sean Manaea, then either sign Walker to play first base or Adames to play third and move Mark Vientos to first. They have lots of options to pivot off Soto." (Subscription Required)

The Athletic: One Black Friday 2024 free-agent deal for every MLB team. "New York Mets (89-73) Juan Soto, OF. "No need to complicate things. Cohen has the deepest pockets. He will dip into them to sign Soto to the richest (present-day value, for sure) contract in baseball history." (Subscription Required)

1977

Dave Kingman, joining his fifth team this year, signs as a free agent with the Cubs. Sky King, put on waivers in September by the Padres after a midseason trade with the Mets was selected by the Angels, who dealt the much-traveled slugger to the Yankees a week later.

2007

The Mets trade highly-touted prospect Lastings Milledge to the Nationals in exchange for fly chaser Ryan Church and catcher Brian Schneider.

2012

David Wright, who signed an eight-year, $138 million contract in November, is named the captain of the Mets, joining John FrancoKeith Hernandez, and Gary Carter as the fourth player honored by the franchise.
