Just before Mets owner Steve Cohen answered a question about where things stand with Alonso, a homegrown star and free agent first baseman, during a panel discussion, a spirited crowd began chanting, “Let’s Sign Pete! Let’s sign Pete! Let’s sign Pete!”

The offseason in Major League Baseball has seen two teams as the clear protagonists, with the New York Mets acquiring Juan Soto as the most sought-after free agent and the Los Ange

Entering the 2025 season, the projected ace of the Mets' staff is Kodai Senga, who only made one start in the 2024 regular season. Behind him, there's returning veteran Sean Manaea, lefty breakout candidate David Peterson, the erratic Frankie Montas, and a former closer in Clay Holmes.

From that point on, the Mets’ 67-40 record was the best in baseball. It earned them a playoff berth where as an underdog, they eliminated the Milwaukee Brewers in the Wild Card round and the Philadelphia Phillies in the Division Series, setting up a six-game bout against the Dodgers, who came out on top.

The Angels will be Davis’s fifth team in two years. Those teams include the San Francisco Giants, the then-Oakland A’s, the Yankees and the Baltimore Orioles. The Yankees acquired Davis after Anthony Rizzo broke an arm last June to play first base against left-handed pitching. The plan was for him to share time at first with rookie Ben Rice.

The Angels are reportedly in agreement on a contract with former Mets infielder JD Davis as MLB free agency continues.

The Detroit Lions coaching staff has been raided by numerous franchises across the league. Former offensive coordinator Ben Johnson moved onto to be the head coach of the Chicago Bears.

Another advantage for the Yankees is that the American League got weaker this offseason, and with the Guardians and Astros both doing some retooling of their rosters, the Bronx Bombers are clearly the best team in the AL on paper. Meanwhile, the Mets have the Phillies and Braves to deal with in a tough NL East.

The Los Angeles Angels continue to add a hodgepodge of names in free agency this offseason. Robert Murray of FanSided reported on Friday that the Angels have agreed to a minor-league deal with free agent infielder JD Davis.

The Seattle Mariners are reportedly no longer likely to bring back veteran free agent Justin Turner this offseason. That came from MLB.com's Mariners' reporter

According to one report Friday, the New York Mets were interested in a free agent outfielder before he signed with a division rival.
