During this offseason, the New York Mets have a few adjustments that need to be made before the start of the 2020 season.
Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen has previously stated that the Mets will attempt to address their holes in the starting rotation, bullpen, and center field this offseason.
Completing those offseason goals may push the Mets beyond the $208 million luxury tax for the 2020 season, which is previously something that the Mets have avoided doing since the new rules were implemented during the 2003 season.
Asked at the GM Meetings about the Mets' appetite to go over MLB's $208 million luxury tax threshold, Brodie Van Wagenen said he'll have that conversation with ownership only if his player acquisition strategy requires it.
