New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza hasn’t done a lot of gloating over landing right fielder Juan Soto this offseason on a 15-year contract that can reach $800 million — at least not publicly.

The New York Yankees are going to look a lot different next season than they did in 2024. Namely, the outfield has undergone major changes. On Tuesday, manager Aaron Boone announced on WFAN 660 what the team’s plans are next year in the outfield.

It is conceivable that Baty and Acuña alone could replace Alonso's home runs, which is to say nothing of what they stand to gain from their new center fielder. That is Jose Siri, who hit as many homers on his own last season (18) as the Mets got from all their center fielders.

Mets owner Steve Cohen was “brutally honest” regarding negotiations with first baseman Pete Alonso’s camp at Amazin’ Day on Saturday. “I don’t like the negotiations,” a visibly angry Cohen said.

This past Saturday, New York Mets owner Steve Cohen publicly acknowledged that contract talks with free-agent first baseman and Mets fan-favorite Pete Alonso have been "an exhausting" process. It seems Cohen isn't yet ready to completely move on from the 30-year-old slugger.
