Location: Flushing, N.Y. | Ballpark: Citi Field (42,000) (inaugural season) | Spring Training: Port St. Lucie, Fla. Owner: Fred Wilpon | GM: Omar Minaya | Manager: Jerry Manuel | World Championships: 2
The Mets have two vacancies to fill in the rotation, behind Johan Santana, Mike Pelfrey and John Maine. They also have vacancies at closer and left field.
BIGGEST NEEDS: The Mets' bullpen blew 29 saves in 2008, and a revamping of the bullpen is in order. Not only is the team without a closer, the focal points of the 2006 run to the NLCS championship, setup men Aaron Heilman and Duaner Sanchez, both had underwhelming seasons this year that contributed to the team's inability to hold a 3 1/2-game division lead with 17 games to play.
FREE AGENTS: LF Moises Alou, LF Marlon Anderson, RHP Luis Ayala, OF Endy Chavez, 2B Damion Easley, RHP Orlando Hernandez, RHP Pedro Martinez, 2B Ramon Martinez, LHP Oliver Perez, LHP Ricardo Rincon, OF Fernando Tatis, RHP Matt Wise.
Hernandez might be forced into retirement by a bunion that was surgically removed from his right big toe, while Alou's injury-plagued career could be over. Perez, represented by Scott Boras, will command a four- to five-year deal. Martinez has resolved to pitch in 2009, but it might have to be elsewhere. Chavez is a valuable defensive replacement, but his role diminished once Jerry Manuel succeeded Willie Randolph as manager. Easley was productive, but he turns 39 on Nov. 11 and has been susceptible to injury. Anderson had a poor season in a pinch-hitting role.
ARBITRATION-ELIGIBLE: RF Ryan Church, LHP Pedro Feliciano, RHP Aaron Heilman, RHP Duaner Sanchez, RHP John Maine, OF Angel Pagan.
With the Mets' bullpen slated for a massive overhaul this winter, Heilman and Sanchez both might get dealt.
IN LIMBO: 2B Luis Castillo, with three years and $18 million left on his contract, nonetheless will be shopped this winter, with the Mets forced to eat a large percentage of the contract. LHP Scott Schoeneweis also will be on the trading block, as he was during spring training.
MEDICAL WATCH:
LHP Billy Wagner is expected to miss the 2009 season following Tommy John surgery.
RHP John Maine underwent surgery Sept. 30 to shave a bony growth behind his right shoulder that was irritating a muscle. He's expected to begin long-tossing in late December and should be on a regular schedule in spring training.

Rumor mill starting up hot. The Mets may want John Lackey but word is the Yankees are hot for him too. Holliday and the Mets keep being mentioned together but rumors persist with Arizona for Chris Young. I wish

While we all knew that this was an eventuality (given the $9.1 million dollar price tag), Adam Rubin reported today that the Mets have officially declined Putz's option. Hats off to Omar on this one. Maybe he should have listened to those of us out there that wanted Houston Street instead.
I want many things for this ballclub especially this off-season, but have a feeling that we aren't going to see much more than moderate signings for the team going into opening day 2010. Instead I do see them making some mid-season moves during the trading deadline since there are lot

I am as passionate about the Mets as the next guy, but we have to really start thinking realistically! Sometimes it's tough to read some of the threads on this board because there are a lot of dreamers out there that come up with crazy ideas, potential line-ups for 2010, trades, etc. Most of which will never be.
It started with an off-season watching the Yankee$ overspend for 3 free-agents. Each one received 30-40 more than FMV and that was done(IMHO, smartly) to blow the other teams out-of-the-water and kill any fair negotiation. The Yankee$ went for the throat and won big-time. IMHO, baseball and it's salary structure lost.
Then came the joke known as the WBC. Is there any d

My question is why hasn't David Wright been stated as on the trading blocks. I know he has been the healthiest of the three major fielders, but with his decline in power (steroids not being used anymore?) and his increase in strikeouts doesn't make sense to me. Mind you I love the guy and think he is a stud, but wouldn't we be

Alright I have to say this. About a month ago I listened to the interview Mike Fransesa had on the FAN with Omar and Jeff Wilpon and when they got on the subject of Daniel Murphy I was alittle disapointed. It appeared as if the two of them weren't ruling out using Murphy at first as there everyday starter. I was so glad whe

I know most of us have to live with alot of bragging Yankee fans like myself but I also have alot of respectfull Yankee fans as well. But our enemy and our enemys fans are depressed, pissed off, sad. So dont be afraid to start talking s*** like they do to us. Kick them HARD while they are down. Give yurself some pleasure and bring a smile to yur face. We hate them with a passion and we all lover t

Aight so the offseason begins and honestly all the SP is in our division. + our division might be the most competitive in the MLB next year. But what SP staff do u think has the edge? PHILLY 1. C Lee [ there for a full year now] 2. C Hamels[can he bounce back to Ace form?] 3. J Blanton 4. J.A Happ [Solid SP, could he repeat an 09 season?] 5. Moyer/Pedro/ AT

I was flipping through the channels surfing for the various college games tonight, when I happened on the MLB Network and their presentation of the AFL All-star game. I happened to glance at the guy coming up and it was Ike Davis. He faced a lefty and on a 2 strike pitch sat back and drilled a single to right-field on a curve ball. The commentator(I swear I'm not making this up!) said his swing re

Brad Lidge blew another save last night, that's 9 this year. Rarely does a closer go a whole season without blowing any saves, yet Lidge was able to do it in 2008. I truly believe if the Mets weren't decimated with injuries, we'd be right there with Philly for
