Mets have work to do

The New York Mets have plenty of reasons to feel good after a run of unexpected success this season.

But in cold reality Pete Alonso’s uncertain future awaits them and that is not the only priority this winter.

New York will likely have about a dozen free agents to replace, including Alonso, once contract options are decided, and the pitching staff is particularly thin right now.

The good news is that the Mets have an owner with deep pockets and an established core that has playoff experience.

What was projected as a transitional season under rookie manager Carlos Mendoza and first-year president of baseball operations David Stearns, looking to 2025, transformed from a 22-33 start to a thrilling ride into October that ultimately ended Sunday two wins away from the World Series with a Game 6 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

“We became a family. And now we raise the bar,” Mendoza said in Los Angeles. “The expectations are that we must make an effort every year to be playing far in October.”

To do that, owner Steve Cohen has holes to fill on the field.
