• Jacob deGrom, Justin Verlander Named Cy Young Winners

  14-11-2019 01:28 via New York Mets – MLB Trade Rumors
  
  6:28pm: The BBWAA announced a slight correction in the NL voting (Twitter link), revealing that Ryu finished in second place alone — not in a tie with Scherzer, who is alone in third place. Flaherty is now alone in fourth place as well, with Strasburg landing fifth.
  5:56pm: Mets right-hander Jacob deGrom and Astros righty Justin Verlander have been named the Cy Young Award winners in their respective leagues, the Baseball Writers Association of America announced Wednesday (click for voting

• Mets Working To Retain Chili Davis

  13-11-2019 07:16 via New York Mets – MLB Trade Rumors
  
  The Mets are closing in on a deal to retain hitting coach Chili Davis, Jon Heyman of MLB Network tweets.  The former big league slugger is fresh off his first year with the Mets, whose offense made strides on his watch. Davis helped the club to the majors’ 13th-most runs and its seventh-highest wRC+ (104).

• Latest On Mets’ Bench Coach Position

  13-11-2019 02:30 via New York Mets – MLB Trade Rumors
  
  The Mets have their new manager in former major league slugger Carlos Beltran, a first-time skipper who brings zero coaching experience to the table. The fact that Beltran’s a neophyte makes it all the more important for the Mets to find an experienced bench coach capable of helping him learn the ropes. They’ve got at least two names on their radar in Fredi Gonzalez and Jerry Narron, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
  The Mets have already spoken with Gonzalez, who’s likel

• Draft Compensation For 8 Teams That Could Lose Qualified Free Agents

  12-11-2019 12:50 via New York Mets – MLB Trade Rumors
  
  We’ve already looked at what pick(s) each of the 30 teams in Major League Baseball would need to surrender in order to sign one of the 10 free agents who rejected a qualifying offer last week. On the other side of the coin is what type of compensation each of the eight teams that issued a qualifying offer — the Nationals and Giants issued two apiece — would receive if those players sign with new clubs.
  As with draft forfeitures, draft compensation is largely tied to the financi

• Brodie Van Wagenen On Mets’ Offseason Plans

  12-11-2019 05:28 via New York Mets – MLB Trade Rumors
  
  Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen, who’s in the early stages of a crucial second offseason on the job, spoke to reporters about the team’s winter plans Monday. The club’s on the heels of an 86-win season, its third in a row without a playoff berth. There are obvious need areas on the Mets’ roster, then, but it’s up in the air how aggressive they’ll be this offseason with seemingly limited spending room under the budget of owners Fred Wilpon and Jeff Wilp

• Multiple Teams Pursuing Zack Wheeler At Outset Of Free Agency

  12-11-2019 02:33 via New York Mets – MLB Trade Rumors
  
  7:33pm: The Mets also remain interested in exploring a multi-year arrangement with Wheeler, per Jon Heyman of MLB Network (via Twitter). It’s not evident how serious that possibility is — let alone whether there’s any potential for a pact to come together before Wheeler formally reaches the open market.
  We’ve seen plenty of on-again/off-again chatter of a deal with Wheeler over recent months. When the Mets acquired Marcus Stroman, it was generally supposed that the c

• Yordan Alvarez, Pete Alonso Win Rookie Of The Year Awards

  12-11-2019 01:03 via New York Mets – MLB Trade Rumors
  
  Astros outfielder Yordan Alvarez and Mets first baseman Pete Alonso were named the rookies of the year in the American and National Leagues, respectively. The former was a unanimous choice, while the latter received top placement from all but one of the ROY voters from the Baseball Writers’ Association of America.
  It’s a power-packed duo, to say the least. While slugging numbers were up around the game, these two still stood out.
  Alvarez, 22, didn’t force his way onto a loaded

• Latest On Mets' Pitching Coach Opening

  11-11-2019 03:25 via New York Mets – MLB Trade Rumors
  
  After a report indicated that the club would interview Jeremy Hefner of the Twins on Monday as part of their search for a new pitching coach, could the Mets still be considering old friend Phil Regan for the job? The club hasn’t “officially ruled out” Regan, who took over as New York’s pitching coach following Dave Eiland’s dismissal in mid-summer, as noted in a tweet from Andy Martino of SNY (link). Although references to Regan’s age (82) are applied perhaps

• Mets Previously Had Interest In Jeremy Hefner As Bullpen Coach

  10-11-2019 19:00 via New York Mets – MLB Trade Rumors
  
  The Mets are set to interview Twins assistant pitching coach Jeremy Hefner for their top pitching coach position. Their interest in bringing him on staff isn’t new, as SNY’s Andy Martino (via Twitter) reports that New York offered him an interview for bullpen coach last offseason. The former Mets’ pitcher was then already locked into his position with Minnesota, but he’ll sit down with New York brass this time around for an opportunity to lead the entire pitching sta

• Free Agent Faceoff: Wheeler Vs. Bumgarner Vs. Ryu

  09-11-2019 01:53 via New York Mets – MLB Trade Rumors
  
  It doesn’t take a baseball savant to figure out that Gerrit Cole and Stephen Strasburg are the two best pitchers on the free-agent market. Cole is on a collision course with the largest contract a hurler has ever secured, a sure bet to outdo the $217MM Boston’s David Price received four years ago, while Strasburg could come within $20MM to $30MM of the $200MM mark in his own right. After those two aces, the starting market for free agents gets a lot less interesting, but that’s

• Rays Had Interest In Jeff McNeil Last Offseason

  08-11-2019 04:46 via New York Mets – MLB Trade Rumors
  
  “The Rays were focused on” super-utilityman Jeff McNeil in trade talks with the Mets last offseason, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.  McNeil’s multi-position ability and pre-arbitration salary status make him an ideal target for the Rays, making Sherman wonder if Tampa Bay could again target McNeil this winter, though the Mets’ asking price has surely gone up in the wake of McNeil’s outstanding 2019 season.  Sherman’s piece floats some pot

  The Mets negotiated with relievers Daniel Hudson and Jake Diekman when they were free agents a year ago, Ken Davidoff of the New York Post reports. The club ultimately didn’t land either, instead watching Hudson sign with the Angels on a minor league contract and Diekman land with the Royals for a guaranteed $2.75MM. Hudson then wound up with the Blue Jays and finished the season as a member of the Nationals, with whom he emerged as one of many key cogs during their improbable World Series

  This year’s qualifying offer value is $17.8MM for a one-year term. Players issued the offer will have ten days to assess their options. Should a player reject the offer and fail to work out a deal with their existing team, he will enter the market carrying the requirement that a
