After a disappointing showing in 2025, fans expected the New York Mets to be quite active in the offseason. Things have not gone to plan so far, as the organization failed to retain Edwin Diaz and Pete Alonso.In 2025, Pete Alonso batted .272 with 38 home runs and 126 RBIs, while Edwin Diaz finished with a 1.63 ERA and 28 saves. Both players earned All-Star selections for their impressive performances.Despite expressing an interest in re-signing both Alonso and Diaz as they entered free agency, New York ultimatelty managed neither, as Alonso signed a five-year, $155 million contract to join the Baltimore Orioles, while Diaz agreed to a three-year, $69 million deal with the LA Dodgers.Another one of the Mets' contingent that earned an All-Star selection in 2025, shortstop Francisco Lindor wished his former teammates farewell via Instagram on Saturday."Much love," and "I love you my brother," Francisco Lindor captioned his Instagram stories.Screenshots of Francisco Lindor's Instagram Stories (Images from - Instagram.com/@lindor12bc IG Stories)Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz spent six seasons together in Queens.Mets legend has his say on Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz's exitsOn Wednesday's episode of "Honda Sportsnite," New York Mets Hall of Famer Keith Hernandez delivered his verdict on the team's offseason."You've really let go three of your most popular players, in a team that had a very disappointing season," Hernandez said. "They'd been together a very long time, so it's obvious that they are going in a new direction. The direction is going to be (shoring up the) defense and also pitching."...I've been watching the interviews. Everybody's kinda speechless. I'm a little bit speechless. This is very explosive. In the years that I've been with the team, I have not seen this kind of moving in a new direction, I guess. It is profound."Moving to New York in 1983, Keith Hernandez played a key role in helping the organization win the World Series in 1986. During his time in Queens, Hernandez earned himself three All-Star selections, six Gold Glove awards and a Silver Slugger award. He was inducted into the Mets' Hall of Fame in 1997, and his No. 17 jersey was retired by the organization in 2022.
