Yesterday X/Twitter was full of Rumors after Alex Bregman tweeted that 2025 would be "Amazing".  While the rumor that the Mets were one of the teams Bregman was talking to, no deal has been reported.

Also, there were tweets that the Mets were talking to Jose Iglesias and "close" to a deal with Pete Alonso.  One report even saying that the Mets had offered him 3 years, $90 million.  However, Jon Heyman put those rumors to rest this this article in the NY Post - 

Jon Heyman NY Post: What’s preventing Mets, Pete Alonso from reuniting in MLB free agency. "While we’ve said here the Mets and Pete Alonso need to figure it out, there is said to be a sizable gap in talks at the moment. That doesn’t mean he’s gone, as the Mets have closed big gaps before (see Juan Soto...), only that no quick deal appears at hand."
