We are going to add to our ’pen. I also really like the group we have. I like the flexibility that group gave us.”

.@PaulHembo believes the Mets will land Teruaki Sato 👀🍿
“We believe David Stearns likes the player. The Mets can put him at 3B and move Bo to 2B. It’ll be a good investment, he can fake it at third base. It’s good enough where the bat will play.”

.@PaulHembo predicts the Mets will outbid the Dodgers for Tarik Skubal 👀🍿
“I think the likeliest scenario is the Mets outbid the Dodgers. The outcome I wrote down was 10-years for $430 mil. This comes down to the Mets owner. If he decides he wants him, he will get him.”
.@Buster_ESPN sees Nick Martinez signing with the Mets 👀🍿
“I’m thinking Nick Martinez and the Mets. We’ve heard stuff on the Mets clubhouse, Martinez is supposed to be a great clubhouse guy.”
.@JeffPassan says the PERFECT move this offseason for the Mets would be signing SP Tarik Skubal 🍿🍿
"The Mets can sign Skubal and remain under the cap. They'd be top-heavy, sure, but with money to offload to teams that need to reach a floor, and an excellent group of players who still would not be in arbitration, it's perfectly reasonable. If there is no cap, there is no issue. And for both of those reasons — plus a real need for quality starting pitching and the means to give Skubal a record contract — the Mets find themselves in the strongest position to land the best free agent by a long shot this winter."
