Mark Feinsand The top 25 free agents this offseason (plus one bonus!). Mark says the following are potential fits for the Mets: #1 Juan Soto; #2 Corbin Burnes; #7 Pete Alonso; #9 Jack Flaherty; #23 Sean Manaea; Best of the Rest Luis Severino

Mike Puma NY Post: David Stearns facing different Mets questions — including Juan Soto — at GM Meetings this time. "The only multi-year contract the Mets gave to a free agent last winter was a two-year deal worth $28 million to Sean Manaea that contained an opt-out...When the general managers meetings begin Monday, Stearns (with owner Steve Cohen’s checkbook) figures to be busy convening with agents."
