Mets Morning News: General manager meetings set to begin

Meet the Mets

The general manager meetings start this week, and Brodie Van Wagenen will have an opportunity to fix one of the Mets’ most glaring weaknesses.

A.J. Pollock could be a good fit for the Mets in their outfield.

Peter Alonso was one of the standouts among some top talent in the Fall Stars Game.

Around the National League East

Quite a few Braves were awarded Gold Gloves for their work in the field this season.

A trade of J.T. Realmuto for Gary Sanchez wouldn’t make a lot of sense for the Marlins. The Marlins’ home run sculpture is officially gone from its home in the outfield.

The Yankees are reportedly not interested in pursuing Bryce Harper this offseason.

Around Major League Baseball

The Gold Gloves were given out to those who were known for their defense this past season.

One of the architects behind the Astros’ recent success will be leaving the team to pursue other opportunities.

Despite having some serious allegations made against him, the Cubs might be willing to overlook the domestic violence charges and have Addison Russell play for them again.

There are quite a few teams who could make big splashes this offseason in an effort to change the outcome of their divisions.

The major awards will be handed out next week, but the finalists in each category will be announced much sooner than that.

This Date in Mets History

Darryl Strawberry left the Mets as a free agent on this date in 1990. Twenty-eight years later his 252 home runs in a Met uniform is still a franchise record.
