The Mets on Wednesday re-signed reliever Ryne Stanek, according to multiple reports. New York acquired Stanek last season in a pre-deadline trade with the Seattle Mariners. However, before retaining Stanek, the Mets reportedly considered adding star reliever Kenley Jansen, who spent the last two seasons with the Boston Red Sox.

Most MLB teams are hesitant to give up a pick to sign Nick Pivetta, which is why he could return to the Red Sox or go to an aggressive contender like the Mets.

The New York Mets could see Pete Alonso leave in free agency. They could swap corner infielders with the Boston Red Sox in a win-win for both teams.

If Pete Alonso does not return to the New York Mets, most believe Mark Vientos will be a huge part of the succession plan. Vientos, the 25-year-old third baseman, had a breakout season in 2024, becoming the team's number-two hitter in the playoffs after starting the year in Triple-A.

The Mets thought about Kenley Jansen in free agency but decided against it to give Edwin Diaz the closer role with no competition.

On Thursday, Alexander Wilson of Empire Sports Media named former Boston Red Sox righty Nick Pivetta as a "high-upside" fit for the Mets if they choose to sign one more starter this winter. "Pivetta has flown under the radar as a quality starting pitcher, and his 2024 numbers suggest he could be a diamond in the rough," Wilson wrote.

Alex Bregman is one of the top names left on the free agent market, but the Boston Red Sox don't appear to be in the running.

The Boston Red Sox may no longer have a chance at acquiring standout third baseman Alex Bregman in free agency.

Even though the Sox haven’t made many moves in free agency, they should take a step forward based on pitching alone.
