The MLB offseason kicks into high gear as the New York Mets face critical roster decisions that will shape their 2025 campaign.
With Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz hitting free agency, the franchise must navigate qualifying offers, non-tender candidates, and Rule 5 draft protections while managing a crowded 40-man roster.
Host Ryan Finkelstein breaks down essential offseason dates, from the November 6th qualifying offer deadline to the December winter meetings in Orlando.
He analyzes which Mets players face non-tender decisions—including Tylor Megill, Tyrone Taylor, and several Tommy John surgery recoveries—and evaluates Rule 5 draft-eligible prospects like Nick Morabito and DeAndre Smith.
The episode explores how qualifying offers across baseball will impact the Mets' pursuit of free agents like Dylan Cease, Framber Valdez, and Shane Bieber, who presents a unique opportunity without draft pick compensation attached.
Get the complete breakdown of the Mets' offseason strategy and discover which moves could define their championship window—tune in now for expert analysis on every roster decision ahead.
