The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal links Tatsuya Imai to New York Yankees and Mets as MLB rumors rise around his free agency.

With some moves already made and a few more set to come down the chute, here are some free-agent targets for the Mets in each of their areas of need: With the trade of Nimmo, the Mets have a clear hole in left field, but Cody Bellinger could provide more than cover for that position. On top of that, he has great bat-to-ball skills and quality pop.

The New York Yankees are creating significant buzz this offseason with their acquisitions for the 2026 MLB season.

The vote totals for the 2025 mayoral election in New York City were released, and Judge received 11 write-in votes. The New York Yankees star wasn't the only baseball player who received some write-in recognition, as free agent Pete Alonso, who has spent his entire career on the New York Mets, received three.

The New York Mets’ free agent 1st baseman is tabbed to stab the team that drafted him in the back, joining the team that could hurt them most.

With growing anticipation around Tatsuya Imai's potential move to MLB next season, the Philadelphia Phillies, New York Yankees, and New York Mets are reportedly among the teams that recognize his impressive skill set.
