The New York Mets and New York Yankees both have a lot of big-time free agents this season.
The Mets could lose Edwin Diaz and Pete Alonso. The Yankees could lose Cody Bellinger and Trent Grisham.
And as happens with big market teams, this duo will likely be linked to one another's free agents as the offseason goes along.
That's what happened this week in the free agent rankings put out by MLB.com's Mark Feinsand. He lists the Mets as the top fit for Grisham.
Grisham comes with a bit of risk after putting together what was by far his best season of his career, but he'll still get paid nicely somewhere.
"Essentially an afterthought in the trade that sent Juan Soto from the Padres to the Yankees before the 2024 season, Grisham wound up being a key bat in replacing Soto’s production in New York’s 2025 lineup," Feinstand wrote. "Grisham belted 34 home runs -- double his previous high -- while setting career bests in RBIs (74), OPS (.811) and OPS+ (125). Grisham also ranked near the top of the league in walk percentage (96th percentile) and chase percentage (99th) and posting a career-best 3.5 bWAR. The Yankees could extend a qualifying offer to Grisham, though New York’s plans for re-signing Bellinger -- not to mention how they view youngsters Jasson Domínguez and Spencer Jones -- might impact which direction it goes with Grisham."

The Yankees are crowded, which is why Feinsand doesn't list them as a fit for Grisham at all. In addition to the Mets, he suggests the Texas Rangers and Kansas City Royals.
The Mets, on the other hand, had adventures in centerfield all 2025 long. They got Cedric Mullins at the trade deadline to help, but he's a free agent now, too.
Grisham might not end up moving far.
