Mets acquired OF Jose Siri from the Rays for RHP Eric Orze.

The deal is now official. Siri has reached double-digit homers and steals — finishing with 43 homers and 26 steals over that timeframe — but has also recorded a calamitous .203 batting average across 812 plate appearances during that span, which certainly puts a damper on his fantasy appeal. It’s a nice landing spot from a park factors standpoint, but the 29-year-old outfielder is unlikely to correct the contact issues that have plagued him in recent years. However, he’s still a decent power/speed combo contributor for fantasy managers in deeper mixed leagues.
Jose Siri

TB Center Fielder #22

MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo reports the Mets are acquiring outfielder Jose Siri from the Rays for reliever Eric Orze.

It’s not exactly a blockbuster — and he certainly won’t be confused with Juan Soto — but Siri provides New York with a capable defensive centerfielder and some viable outfield depth heading into the offseason. He’s a logical replacement for free agent Harrison Bader and has contributed 43 homers and 26 steals over the last two seasons combined with the Rays. It’s highly unlikely he’ll correct the contact issues that have dragged down his batting average during that span, but he’s likely to remain a cheap power/speed combo source for fantasy managers.
Juan Soto

FA Left Fielder #22

MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand reports Juan Soto is scheduled to meet with the Yankees and Dodgers this week.

Feinsand adds that the “feeling around the industry” is that Soto will make his final decision on where to take his generational talent prior to the Winter Meetings, which begin on December 9. He also notes that Soto has already met with the Blue Jays, Red Sox and Mets; with those meetings including representatives from club ownership in addition to front office executives and each team’s manager. The Mets and Yankees remain the favorites to ultimately land Soto on a lucrative long-term contract, but it sounds like the Blue Jays and Red Sox could be legitimate alternatives at this juncture. Of course, we’re never going to rule out the Dodgers either.
Justin Hagenman

NYM Relief Pitcher

Mets signed RHP Justin Hagenman to a one-year, $850,000 contract.

It’s a split contract for Hagenman, who heads to New York after spending the last seven years between the Dodgers and Red Sox. The 28-year-old righty, who has yet to reach the big leagues, will bolster the Mets’ organizational relief depth after compiling a 4.91 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 98/31 K/BB ratio across 91 2/3 innings (28 appearances, 15 starts) last year for Triple-A Worcester.
Sean Manaea

FA Starting Pitcher #59

ESPN’s Alden Gonzalez reported that Sean Manaea is expected to decline the Mets’ $21.05 million qualifying offer.

This doesn’t come as much of a surprise and certainly doesn’t close the door on Manaea returning to the Mets. However, coming off a strong year where he posted a 3.47 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and 184 strikeouts in 181 2/3 innings, Manaea was always likely to try and get a multi-year contract since he will head into next season at 33 years old. The Mets will need to outbid others for his services but they are more than capable of doing so.
Rafael Ortega

NYM Left Fielder #27

Mets signed OF Rafael Ortega to a minor league contract.

Ortega was with the Mets back in 2023 and will return after spending 2024 with the White Sox. The 33-year-old only appeared in 14 MLB games for the White Sox this year but did hit .289 with 11 home runs and 17 steals in 84 Triple-A games. He’ll simply be a veteran presence to provide depth in the Mets outfield.
Luis Severino

FA Starting Pitcher #40

Will Sammon of The Athletic reports that Luis Severino is ‘unlikely’ to accept the qualifying offer.

If Severino was to take the offer, he’d be paid $21.05 million for 2025. The right-hander instead will be looking for a multi-year deal that will likely pay him a similar amount per year, but on a long-term deal. Severino was good in 2024 with a 3.91 ERA and 161/60 K/BB over 182 innings with the Mets, so there should be a strong market.
Donovan Walton

NYM Shortstop #18

Mets signed INF Donovan Walton to a minor league contract.

Adding some infield depth. Walton, 30, finished last season in the majors with the Giants, going 3-for-22 with a homer. He previously hit .306/.380/.441 in 99 games for Triple-A Sacramento.
Jett Williams

NYM Shortstop #70

Mets’ prospect Jett Williams suffered a right ankle sprain during his final ballgame in the Arizona Fall League on Thursday.

The dynamic 21-year-old sustained the injury when he crashed into the outfield fence while chasing a fly ball. No word yet on the severity of the sprain, but Mets’ officials are optimistic that it won’t hinder his regular off-season routine. Williams finishes the fall season hitting .225/.376/.388 with a pair of homers, nine RBI, seven stolen bases and a 30/17 K/BB ratio over 80 at-bats in his 22 games.
Carlos Mendoza

NYM Manager

Carlos Mendoza, Pat Murphy, and Mike Shildt have been named finalists for the National League Manager of the Year Award.

It’s a trio of first-year managers headlining the balloting, which doesn’t exactly have a clear-cut favorite. Mendoza helped guide the Mets back to the postseason in his managerial debut with an 89-win regular season. Shildt, who received a contract extension earlier this month that will take him through 2027, was at the helm for a 93-win season that took the Padres back to the playoffs as well. Murphy led the Brewers to the postseason as well with 93 wins in his managerial debut.
