Pretty straightforward National League Cy Young vote this year. My ballot:
1. Jacob Misiorowski
2. Yoshinobu Yamamoto
3. Chris Sale
4. Cristopher Sánchez
5. Jesús Luzardo
The Mets believe they are set at second base, David Stearns said, with Marcus Semien and Brett Baty returning and several prospects (Rojas, Pitre, Voit) on the way.
They'd like to add at first base. That could be the only position to receive an upgrade outside of pitching staff.
The Mets will meet with Tarik Skubal next week:

PSA: The Mets will host their annual food drive Thursday at Citi Field, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Donate at least 10 nonperishable items, get a pair of tickets to a 2027 home game.
Carson Benge finished second in NL Rookie of the Year voting:

Carson Benge finished second in Rookie of the Year voting, garnering seven first-place votes. Two voters had him as low as fifth.
Nolan McLean finished fourth. A.J. Ewing was ninth, with a single fifth-place vote.
News: Sal Stewart won National League Rookie of the Year.
In the end, traditional stats prevailed over Carson Benge's more well-rounded case.
The GM Meetings have arrived. The Mets enter them with a clear need.

Christian Cairo's turbulent Mets tenure is over. The Dodgers just claimed the infielder off waivers from them.
Separately, infielder Kyren Paris cleared waivers and the Mets outrighted him to Triple-A.
The case for Carson Benge in the Rookie of the Year race:

Wanted to echo the thoughts of many others in the wake of SNY layoffs. BNNY represented a small part of my work covering the Mets, but it felt bigger because of the people involved. Walking into that newsroom was a weekly highlight. Rooting for everyone to land on their feet.
The Mets re-signed Robert Stock to a one-year split contract. He spent September in their rotation, flashing plus velocity despite TOS surgery, but probably profiles more as a bullpen option long-term.
More on the Mets' coaching staff:

The Mets are hiring Johnny Washington to fill out their hitting department, as @Joelsherman1 said.
Washington is a former Rangers and Dodgers farmhand who has worked for various MLB orgs and in Korea. Most recently was with the Braves as their minor league hitting coordinator.
For Ethan Wilson, the soul of the Mets' media relations department, a much-deserved award:

The Mets will wear a memorial patch next season to honor the late Jerry Koosman, who passed earlier this week, as they recently have for Ed Kranepool, Buddy Harrelson and others. Design of the patch is TBA.
BNNY live at 6 p.m. on @SNYtv. Could Tarik Skubal come to Queens? What about, uh... Jacob deGrom?
Let's discuss.
No surprise here: Carson Benge is an NL Rookie of the Year finalist. It means he finished Top 3 in voting along with Sal Stewart and JJ Wetherholt.
Overall winner will be revealed next Monday in one of the more intriguing BBWAA award votes of this year.
