The only sound you’ll hear around the New York Mets offseason is the screeching of it coming to a halt. There is plenty more to do before Opening Day and the slow-moving free agent market (as well as the lack of notable trades) has them waiting around for a haymaker.

Last week, the team quietly placed Drew Romo and Ji Hwan Bae on waivers.
