Any hope that New York Mets fans had about All-Star first baseman Pete Alonso and closer Edwin Díaz reversing course and returning to Queens officially ended on Friday, Dec. 12, when they officially signed their respective contracts with the Baltimore Orioles and Los Angeles Dodgers.

So, I'm going to recap all the action from the past week right here.Keep a close eye on the Rotoworld Player News page so you don’t miss any of the action and let’s take a trip around the league.

Winter Meetings fireworks included the Edwin Díaz, Kyle Schwarber and Pete Alonso signings, but the main activity this week was more centered around front offices talking and negotiating than it was about getting trades and signings done.

Another possibility could come via trade, with the Mets reportedly checking in on St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Willson Contreras, per John Denton of MLB.com. Contreras spent nine MLB seasons primarily at catcher before making the switch to first base last year. The three-time All-Star hit .257 with 20 home runs and 80 RBI in 2025.
