Will Sammon The Athletic: Mets mailbag: What’s the holdup with Pete Alonso? Are the Mets done in the rotation? Will answers questions from fans saying that if the Mets have one move left it should be signing Pete and he thinks the rotation is set. He also said this about Ronny Mauricio and Luisangel Acuna: "In regards to Mauricio, Mets officials like the progress he has made recently. But we are still talking about a young player who didn’t play at all in 2024 — getting him reps might be preferable. In the case of Luisangel Acuña, it’s probably wise to keep his stint with the Mets in perspective: It was just 14 games, and he struggled to find consistency in Triple A before a surprise September call-up. In all cases, these players probably need to demonstrate positive signs in spring training before anyone pencils them in anywhere on the major-league roster." (Subscription Required)

Mets.com:
- Every team's representative(s) on the HOF ballot For the Mets - "Abreu (2014), Beltrán (2005-11), Granderson (2014-17), F. RodrÃguez (2009-11), Wagner (2006-09), Wright (2004-16, ‘18)"
- Here are 25 prospect storylines to follow in 2025 "Trickle-down effects of Soto in Mets system: The offseason’s biggest free agent plays in the outfield. Five of the Mets’ top six prospects (Jett Williams, Drew Gilbert, Ryan Clifford, Carson Benge, Ronny Mauricio) have outfield experience. Depth on the grass is a good thing to have, but Soto’s arrival could provoke some moving and shaking among that group in the short and long term. Maybe Williams starts playing more in the middle infield, Gilbert gets more looks in center and Clifford becomes more of a full-time first baseman."
