The Mets missed out on third baseman Alex Bregman, who signed a five-year, $175 million deal with the Chicago Cubs. Bregman, previously with the Boston Red Sox after nine seasons with the Houston Astros, opted out of his contract after a solid 2025 season. The Mets appear to be focusing on Brett Baty as their starting third baseman for 2026, following his promising breakout season. Baty’s performance makes him a viable option as the Mets move forward.
