The big dominoes have yet to fall, but with MLB winter meetings less than a week away, we might finally see more hot stove movement.
This is the first offseason we could categorize as somewhat normal since 2019. Winter meetings were canceled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and last year they were canceled because of the lockout. As a result, the offseason has once again taken on a marathon-like pace. There have been a few big signings but the biggest free agents are still unsigned, including Mets’ ace Jacob deGrom and outfielder Brandon Nimmo.
But that could change with the winter meetings set to resume Sunday in San Diego. All of baseball will convene next week so if nothing else, there will likely be more clarity around his situation and more clarity around the Mets’ roster renovation as a whole.
