MLB insider Buster Olney has indicated that the New York Mets are unlikely to make significant roster changes this offseason. After a disappointing 2026 season, where the Mets struggled with one of the worst records in baseball, fans had hoped for aggressive moves. Olney noted owner Steve Cohen's reluctance to spend big, particularly with potential salary cap discussions looming. Additionally, the Mets' farm system is ranked 24th, limiting their trade options for high-level talent. Olney advises the front office to analyze last offseason’s decisions rather than push for substantial new acquisitions.
