The New York Mets are reportedly considering San Diego Padres reliever Adrian Morejon as a potential free-agent acquisition this winter. Following the mid-season trade of Luke Weaver to the Pittsburgh Pirates, the organization is looking to reinforce its bullpen depth. Morejon, a 27-year-old left-hander, has maintained a 2.86 ERA across 68 appearances during the 2026 season. Industry analysis suggests the pitcher will be one of the most sought-after free agents entering the offseason due to his consistent track record over the last three years. While primarily a reliever, observers have noted the possibility of transitioning him into a starting rotation role. David Stearns faces pressure to improve the roster following a difficult campaign, and a potential pairing with Devin Williams is viewed as a strategy to bolster the late-inning pitching staff.
