The New York Mets finished the 2024 season with 89 wins and 73 losses.
Their “Cinderella” postseason run ultimately came to a screeching halt against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series, but they swept the Milwaukee Brewers and Philadelphia Phillies as a hit in their first two series.
Now that the Mets have tasted a deep postseason run, they will turn their attention to the offseason, where the free agent class is loaded with big players.
The Mets have already made a deal to acquire an outfielder from the Tampa Bay Rays.
According to MLB reporter Anthony DiComo, the Mets have acquired outfielder Jose Siri from the Rays for relief pitcher Eric Orze.

Seery entered the league in 2021 with the Houston Astros and played the last two full seasons of his career with the Rays.
Seery played in 130 games in 2024, batting .187 with 18 home runs, 47 RBIs and a .620 OPS.
Seery showed his ability to hit the ball out of the outfield despite his sub-.200 average.
The Mets traded Orze to get Siri, who is 27 but has only appeared in two games for the Mets in 2024.
In those two appearances, Orze threw 1.2 innings, allowing three hits, four earned runs and two walks while striking out 1 for a 21.60 ERA.
The Mets have already closed out their first home run of the season, but they’ll have their sights set on pitcher Juan Soto, who they’re looking to acquire from the New York Yankees.
