Are the New York Mets punting on the 2023 MLB offseason?

The New York Mets have had a quiet and sub-par 2023 offseason. The MLB offseason is known as a time period for teams to reload and make improvements for next season. Several teams have made impactful offseason moves including the New York Yankees, Atlanta Braves, Arizona Diamondbacks, Detroit Tigers and St. Louis Cardinals. The New York Mets have remained quiet without any signs of changes in sight. The Mets are coming off of a disappointing 75 win 2023 season. The need to improve the batting lineup, starting pitching staff and bullpen were a must need. So far, the Mets have signed starting pitcher Luis Severino, utilityman Joey Wendle and relief pitcher Jorge Lopez. All three former All Stars are joining the Mets off of their worst seasons of their careers. Adding pitchers with ERAs over 5 and players who hit slightly above 200. do not improve the ballclub. The Mets are a fourth place team as currently constructed. Outside of Pete Alonso and Fransico Lindor, the Mets offense lacks home run power. A power hitting DH like JD Martinez or Justin Turner could help add power to the lineup. Kodai Senga is the Mets only ace quality starting pitcher. Adding Blake Snell or Yoshinobu Yamamoto could add more fear to the Mets starting pitching rotation. There is still plenty of time to make changes but it is very concerning from the team’s silence in the trade market and free agency. Will the NewYork Mets make a big offseason move? Are the rumors true about the Mets waiting to contend in 2025? Sometimes it is astonishing how a team’s owner can go all in on one year and go completely silent the following year.
