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."

Johnny Murphy becomes the Mets' third general manager in franchise history when he replaces Bing Devine. During his tenure, the team benefits from a talented farm system, especially its young pitching prospects, which include Tom Seaver, Jerry Koosman, Nolan Ryan, and Gary Gentry, all who will play a major role in the club's World Championship in 1969.

2001

The Mets continue to stay busy this offseason, acquiring first baseman Mo Vaughn for 13-year veteran right-hander Kevin Appier (11-10, 3.57) and cash. The 1995 American League MVP will join Roberto Alomar, Roger Cedeno, and Shawn Estes as the newest members of the Shea Squad.
