Mets Morning News: Searchin’ for Starlin?

Meet the Mets

What are the Mets looking to accomplish for the upcoming Winter Meetings? Let’s take a closer look.

Now that Starlin Castro is in Miami (more on why in a moment), the Amazins could be one of the top contenders to pry him from the Marlins.

Around the National League East

The Marlins traded Giancarlo Stanton. To the Yankees. So he continue to crush Mets pitching multiple times per season.

The Braves are trying to trade for Clint Frazier, perhaps to help clear up a logjam suddenly created in the Yankees outfield.

Go forth, Washington. The Nationals signed former Brewer David Goforth to a minor league contract.

Around Major League Baseball

After losing the race for Giancarlo Stanton, the Cardinals are assessing their next options.

The Angels officially welcomed two-way star Shohei Ohtani to Los Angeles.

After missing out on the Japanese phenom, the Rangers signed a top-tier international shortstop prospect.

Another team that lost the Ohtani sweepstakes is now making a big push for Alex Cobb.

The Pirates don’t seem keen on having troubled third baseman Jung Ho Kang back in 2018.

Mets fans won’t exactly be thrilled about how expensive the average ticket is. Or how far they have to travel to get a cheaper game.

This Date in Mets History

Things will (probably) stay quiet this time around, but December 10 has been a rather busy trade day for the Mets three times before.
