Since 2019, I’ve written up grades for every Met offseason move and arrived at a final assessment (2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024) for the offseason (excluding the pandemic year in 2020). The team’s circumstances have varied wildly over that time, with an ownership change and at least four distinct management groups in charge at various points.
As we enter a new contention window in 2025 and beyond, now is as good a time as any to look back and see what lessons can be learned from previous grades.
