Tim Britton of The Athletic sat down with Prime Time Sports Talk to discuss what to expect from the New York Mets this offseason.
The Cleveland Indians finished the 2020 season with a 35-25 record, which was good for second in the AL Central. They secured the 4th seed in the American League playoffs but were promptly swept in the Covid-19 wild-card format by the New York Yankees.
The Los Angeles Angels finished the 2020 regular season with their fifth consecutive losing season and sixth straight year without reaching the postseason. Owner Arte Moreno wasted no time making changes by announcing the team had relieved general manager, Billy Eppler, of his duties following the final regular game of the season.
At the beginning of the 2020 season, the Houston Astros expected to win their fourth-straight American League West crown. However, a myriad of injuries saw them limp into the postseason (barely) with a 29-31 regular-season record. When the playoffs began, the baseball world was ready to throw dirt on them and bury their scandalous year for good.
The Kansas City Royals finished 26-34, good enough for fourth place in the American League Central. They are in the midst of a rebuild and will be returning most of their team in 2021.
The Colorado Rockies finished 2020 in fourth place in the National League West for the second consecutive season. Two years removed from their most recent postseason appearance, the Rockies find themselves stuck between a rebuild and playoff contender going into the winter.
Like a fine wine, perhaps red, Justin Turner keeps getting better. 2020, although abbreviated and unusual, was extra sweet for Turner and the Los Angeles Dodgers.
In 2020, the Texas Rangers had the 15th-highest payroll in baseball, while sitting just over $3 million above the league average. The result amounted to having the lowest win percentage amongst teams in the upper half of that category and the second-worst record in the league.
George Springer is one of the MLB’s most premier dual-threat outfielders. At age 31, his defense is still very good and he will be highly sought after in free agency.
Marcus Stroman has a qualifying offer on the table from the New York Mets but based on a reply to a fan on Twitter, it doesn’t look like he’s coming back.
Nolan Arenado will be in trade talks this winter, but there are some red flags contributing to why the New York Mets should stay away from him.
This past season Yoenis Cespedes played in a few games before opting out of the season for the Mets. He will be looking for a new team this winter. Who signs him?
