Mets and Orioles Navigate Offseason Challenges

The New York Mets are preparing for a transformative offseason following their surprising run to the National League Championship Series in 2024. With an eye on key free agents like Juan Soto and Corbin Burnes, the Mets may also seek to re-sign Pete Alonso, despite his potential high price tag. The team is considering changes in their lineup and rotation, with prospects of acquiring players like Jordan Montgomery from the Diamondbacks and possibly Yusei Kikuchi. Meanwhile, the Baltimore Orioles, after a successful regular season, face challenges in retaining stars like Corbin Burnes and Anthony Santander and might explore trades to strengthen their roster. The Orioles are also linked to potential acquisitions like Luis Robert Jr. to bolster their lineup. Both teams are navigating financial and strategic decisions as they aim to improve and compete at high levels in 2025.
