DEVELOPING — Sources have indicated to us that the Mets currently have extremely high odds of signing Juan Soto, as Steve Cohen “loves” Soto and is willing to offer him whatever is necessary to make him a New York Met. 👀

Three familiar faces to #Mets fans are headed to the World Series with the Rays: Freddy Peralta, Steven Matz and Cedric Mullins.
Peralta, the Mets’ ace entering 2026, now has a 1.08 postseason ERA with Tampa Bay after tossing 5.1 innings of 1-hit ball tonight.

Initially, I thought the Mets may have jumped the gun by giving Andy Green a 3-year deal before conducting a full managerial search. Now Alex Cora is taking the 2027 season off, but this offseason still has expected candidates like Carlos Beltrán, Don Mattingly, Rob Thomson, Albert Pujols, David Ross, Brandon Hyde and more. Did the Mets decide on Green too early? 🤔

JUST IN: There will be some changes to the #Mets coaching staff, as director of hitting Jeff Albert, quality assurance coach Danny Barnes and batting practice pitcher Kevin Mahoney will NOT be returning in 2027, the team just announced.
Manager Andy Green will look to change his coaching staff a bit for the Mets entering 2027.

The 2026 #Mets finish 74-88, last in the NL East for the first time since 2003 and their worst record since 2017 (70-92).
They’re the only MLB team ever to miss the playoffs in two consecutive seasons after spending over $800M. Yet Steve Cohen will likely keep David Stearns.

I feel so bad for Howie Rose. One of the greatest broadcasters to ever call Mets games, and he’s going out after one of the ugliest seasons in franchise history. Howie couldn’t even get the proper goodbye he deserved today at Citi Field because of rain. His retirement ceremony has been moved to Opening Weekend 2027. He deserves so much better. THANK YOU, HOWIE!

Not enough New York media are talking about the #Mets biggest issue: Steve Cohen.
Between his insincerity toward fans, recent missteps & hiring failures since buying the team in 2020, this franchise’s failures start with him.
Cohen could’ve brought Alonso back, he chose not.

The Mets didn’t have a “terrible” farm at the time whatsoever. Baseball America ranked them 8th, ESPN ranked them 11 and 13 by MLB Pipeline. Above average rank by all the experts at the time.
What exactly do McLean, Scott, Ewing and Soto have to do with Stearns? None were brought in by him and Soto was all Cohen. Bichette hasn’t made any impact on this team and Lindor also has zero to do with Stearns. And now the farm is ranked less than the end of 2023 / start of 2024 time you’re referencing. Terrible points.
Starting pitching was definitely not a strength then but Scott and McLean were still developing during the time you’re mentioning. Even now, outside of McLean, nobody has proven nearly enough yet even though Scott and Thornton have looked good this year. It’s not like anyone thinks the Mets have a championship worthy rotation at this moment, and Stearns has failed to build a rotation with Major League acquisitions the last 2 years.
If you’re spending $300-400M and can only be confident with about 7 players on the roster heading into 2027 and one of those may not even be here, you’re clearly just coping. This is MLB, not the NBA. Filling about 15 roster spots is impossible in 1 year, especially for a guy who couldn’t handle about 5. Stearns has objectively been one of the biggest failures in baseball history. Nobody else in MLB history has spent nearly this much to miss the playoffs in-back-to-back years. Defending it is outrageous enough, using an argument where most of the players referenced had nothing to do with Stearns is even dumber.
When David Stearns took over in 2024, the core was:
29-year-old Pete Alonso
30-year-old Francisco Lindor
30-year-old Edwin Díaz
31-year-old Brandon Nimmo
32-year-old Jeff McNeil
The Mets had a terrible farm and an organization that couldn’t develop anyone. There wasn’t even a single starting pitcher in that core.
In 2026, less than three full seasons later, that core is now:
21-year-old A.J. Ewing
23-year-old Carson Benge
24-year-old Nolan McLean
27-year-old Christian Scott
27-year-old Juan Soto
28-year-old Bo Bichette
32-year-old Francisco Lindor
Other than Lindor, the oldest guy in that group is 28. The youngest is 21. When Stearns took over the youngest in that group was 29 years old! Now the organization can actually develop players and has one of the better farm systems in baseball.
Stearns reset a core that made the playoffs twice in six years — ONCE UNDER HIM! Alonso, Nimmo, and McNeil were not even why the Mets made the playoffs in 2024. Instead they were a big reason that team was fighting until the very last day of the season to clinch. Lindor along with the players Stearns put around them carried that team into the playoffs while those other guys all had down years.
Yet fans will still tell you Stearns has done an awful job. Almost every other team in baseball would take him tomorrow. Claiming he has run the Mets into the ground and that he’s a total disaster is dishonest and irrational. Thinking he hasn’t built this roster to be a future consistent contender just means you’re not watching or you’re out of touch. It’s egregious.
Missing the playoffs one year into a core reset is not some unprecedented disaster. Especially when most of the team’s core was either hurt or in the minors during this season other than Bichette, McLean, and Benge. Missing the playoffs happens to a lot of teams when they move on and stop running it back with a stale, aging group and actually start focusing on their future building the next core.
The other option was keeping a group that was only getting older and punting the future. That tradeoff makes no sense. This is the most realistic way to build a World Series contender. Especially one that can compete year after year.

While getting interviewed by Gary Cohen during today’s #Mets game, Steve Cohen said his plan is to “to add certain voices into the front office that I think will be helpful” under David Stearns.
While Cohen did NOT confirm that would include bringing in a GM under Stearns, it could be a possibility.
Cohen said he wants the hires to help bring different opinions and points of views to the Mets front office.

After hitting his 300th HR at Citi Field Tuesday night, Pete Alonso appeared to yell, “That’s what you f*cking get,” from the Orioles’ dugout.
Poetic baseball justice after David Stearns and Steve Cohen didn’t even offer the #Mets’ all-time HR leader a contract in the winter.

#Mets fans outraged over the decisions of David Stearns and Steve Cohen couldn’t have scripted the last 48 hours at Citi Field any better. If Cohen continues to disregard the Mets fanbase by keeping Stearns after all of this, he will be the next one ran out of town.

In Pete Alonso’s return to Citi Field last night, we saw fans chanting “Fire Stearns” all night, louder cheers for Alonso than anyone on the Mets, and thousands pour toward the exits in the 8th inning of a 1-1 game after Alonso’s final at-bat. Perhaps the boldest fan revolt we’ve EVER seen at a Mets game.
