The New York Mets are in the spotlight as they navigate offseason changes, with David Stearns addressing the media about the team's future. While the buzz surrounding Juan Soto's new contract is palpable, Stearns refrained from commenting on it directly.
He did, however, express a desire to retain first baseman Pete Alonso, a fan favorite and four-time All-Star. Alonso's impressive performance has been pivotal for the Mets, but concerns about his defensive capabilities and declining offensive stats linger.
Stearns hinted at the team's financial flexibility for improvements, while discussing potential roster adjustments, including the possibility of moving Mark Vientos to first base. The Mets have made some moves already, signing pitchers and acquiring outfield talent, but the quest for another starting pitcher continues.
