Mets Offseason Preview: Juan Soto, Pete Alonso, and ways to build the 2025 team | The Mets Pod | SNY

On the offseason preview episode of The Mets Pod presented by Tri-State Cadillac, Connor Rogers and Joe DeMayo kick off a stretch of shows that will be there every step of the way covering the construction of the 2025 New York Mets. The guys start things off by going through the current players on the team that face free agency or team option decisions, including a long talk about the long-awaited market for Pete Alonso. Later, Connor and Joe go Down on the Farm to discuss prospects that can help as soon as next season, chat about the coaching staff, and then drop some interesting trade ideas that could be options for Mets president of baseball ops David Stearns to pursue. Finally, the show wraps with free agency and the conversation that everyone has been waiting for, Juan Soto, and the pitch that Soto is the true target that owner Steve Cohen has been “waiting for.” Be sure to subscribe to The Mets Pod at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

  1. Please don't get Soto. Too much money that plays mediocre defense with mid level speed and will end up as a sole dh. Spread the money in the pitching and try to get someone like teoscar or someone like him and focus on pitching and a third baseman and move mark to first.

  5. I believe the money would be better spent getting 5 pitchers. We have great batters and we need to invest in defense. Dodgers have made it far by just having their Bullpen each get 3 outs.

  6. Remember, BASEBALL is a team sport,not an individual sport. One man does not make or break a team. The $500 or $600 million that the METS spend on SOTO ,they could use to resign ALONSO, sign CORBIN BURNES , ANTHONY SANTANDER and maybe a good reliever. Then they should trade for GARRET CROCHET and BRENT ROOKER who hit .291, 40hrs and over 100 rbis. He plays the outfield and could DH. THIS MAKES MORE SENSE.

  11. In the case of PETE ALONSO STEVE COHEN will have to step in and get the deal done. DON'T EXPECT STEARNS TO MAKE A STRONG EFFORT TO KEEP PETE BECAUSE OF STEARNS MINI MARKET/MONEY BALL PHILOSOPHY.

  19. Mullins sounds like an interesting option, but I think it all depends on how long you think it would take for Gilbert to be available for a callup. If the Mets can get Gilbert up by June 1, could a combo of Nimmo/Taylor cover CF till Gilbert is available? In games when Nimmo is in CF, maybe a combo of McNeil and Marte could cover LF (assuming the big guy Soto is in RF)? Then the Mets don't have to expend capital for Mullins. I agree it's time for a big trade, an Crocket makes sense, but maybe only one, can't see the Mets severely reduce their minor league talent stockpile for these secondary trades.
