According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, reliever Luke Weaver is finalizing a deal with the New York Mets for two years and $22 million. He spent the last two-plus seasons with the Yankees after being claimed off waivers near the end of the 2023 campaign.

Veteran infielder Jorge Polanco and the New York Mets completed their $40 million, two-year contract on Tuesday.

Luke Weaver has agreed to a two-year deal in free agency worth $22 million with the Mets.

In Alonso’s absence, the Mets moved quickly to fill the void, signing Jorge Polanco to a two-year, $40 million deal and shifting him to first base after a breakout season with the Seattle Mariners. While Polanco offers versatility and emerging power, replicating Alonso’s production will be a tall task.

Part of Edwin Díaz’s decision to go with the Dodgers was the Mets’ refusal to meet some of his contract demands.

The New York Mets are undergoing a major roster shakeup for next year.
