The San Diego Padres and New York Mets seem to align on many fronts for a trade, and a report shows they're having discussions.

Despite signing reliever Devin Williams to a three-year, $51 million contract, the Mets offseason has been defined by the players who left. Closer Edwin Diaz (Dodgers), first baseman Pete Alonso (Orioles) and reliever Tyler Rogers (Blue Jays) left New York in the rearview mirror.

The New York Mets added to their depth with the addition of Zach Peek. A 27-year-old who has only dabbled in Double-A, there isn’t a whole lot to know about him

Here are three free agents the Mets should pursue. 2025 Stats: 2.59 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, 57 strikeouts, 29 saves, 165 ERA+, 2.4 wins above replacement (59.0 innings pitched)

Brandon Nimmo went first. Then it was Edwin Díaz and Pete Alonso on back-to-back days at baseball’s winter meetings.

This exercise highlights the need for something big — something that goes against the grain of what the Mets have indicated this offseason.

The New York Mets face a setback in their plans to acquire Mason Miller as Edwin Diaz’s replacement, complicating their bullpen strategy.

The New York Mets have agreed to a two-year deal with veteran infielder Jorge Polanco, a person with knowledge of the agreement told The Associated Press on Saturday. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the deal was pending a physical and had not been announced.
