The New York Mets have made their longest postseason run since losing the 2015 World Series in 2024.
After losing to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League, the Mets saw what it would take to reach the World Series in 2025.
Thanks to another strong free agent class, led by New York Yankees shortstop Juan Soto, the Mets have some options to improve their team heading into this upcoming season.
The Mets recently signed starting pitcher Frankie Montas from the Milwaukee Brewers, but MLB analyst Ryan Spielbergs said he doesn’t think they can stop there.
“There’s got to be more, there’s got to be a lot more for the Mets,” Spilborghs said via Sirius XM’s MLB Network Radio.

The addition of Montas gives the Mets another veteran in their rotation, as Montas has nine MLB seasons under his belt.
He started the 2024 season for the Cincinnati Reds before being traded to the Brewers.
Montas started 30 games with a combined 7-11 record and a 4.84 ERA with 148 strikeouts in 150.2 innings.
While the addition of Montas is good, Spielbergs said he thinks the Mets need to do more, perhaps alluding to signing Soto.
The Mets have the money to make significant moves this offseason, and owner Steve Cohen will likely do so, whether it’s signing Soto or several other players.
If Soto decides to sign with the team that offers him the most money, the Giants will have a great opportunity to land the slugger.
The Mets will once again try to win their first World Series title since 1986, and they may have Soto along for the ride.
