The Latest York Mets are making headlines as winter meetings are going down with players. And to date, fans aren’t joyful with the best way things have turned out. Thus far, left fielder Brandon Nimmo and pitcher Edwin Diaz have left the team for others. By the looks of things, Pete Alonso fans are scared he’ll jump ship too for one more team.
Here’s who has left the Mets before the 2026 season to date.
Edwin Diaz: Left for the Dodgers
Diaz accepted a $69 million offer to play with the Los Angeles Dodgers. News of the deal broke in early December 2025. In keeping with multiple outlets, the Mets offered Diaz the same three-year contract, but for $3 million lower than the World Series champions.
Diaz has yet to publicly discuss his future with the Dodgers and his exit from the Mets’ roster.

Brandon Nimmo: Left for the Texas Rangers
After a decade-long run with the Mets, Nimmo accepted a suggestion from the Texas Rangers in 2025. He bid Mets fans “farewell” in a heartfelt Instagram post in late 2025.
“To the fans I’ll all the time hold near and dear: There is really no way I could adequately put into words how much my tenure with the Mets has meant to me,” the MLB star began in his caption. “All I can say is thanks. Thanks Mets fans for embracing and welcoming a child from Cheyenne, Wyoming to the Big Apple. I all the time aspired to turn out to be a giant leaguer—I never knew I’d have the chance to perform that dream in a city so wildly obsessed with the sport of baseball.”
Nimmo continued, “The last 14 years have felt like a dream, and it has been an absolute honor to share them with you. You made me feel like family, and I hope you felt the identical. I’ll all the time be pleased about our time and memories together. With love, all the time.”
Is Pete Alonso Leaving the Mets?
On the time of publication, Alonso continues to be a Met, but multiple reports revealed he was talking to the Boston Red Sox and the Baltimore Orioles, per MLB.com. Alonso is currently a free agent for the 2026 season.
