Mets and Yankees Plan Major Offseason Strategies

David Stearns, the New York Mets' executive, is focusing on integrating young talent from the minors into the major league lineup, exemplified by Mark Vientos' success in 2024. The Mets, led by wealthy owner Steve Cohen, are expected to be active in the offseason, targeting free agents like Juan Soto and addressing their pitching needs after losing three starters to free agency. Meanwhile, the Minnesota Twins may face a conservative offseason due to a potential franchise sale, relying on existing talent and promising prospects for 2025. The New York Yankees, despite losing the 2024 World Series, remain optimistic about their 2025 prospects with key players like Aaron Judge and Juan Soto. The St. Louis Blues are adapting their lineup with P.O. Joseph stepping up in defense following Philip Broberg's injury, aiming to maintain momentum against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
