The New York Mets are expected to be active in the upcoming offseason free agency period, with their primary targets including top-tier starting pitchers and a potential impact player for first base, according to reports.

The Mets' most significant free agency pursuit could be left-handed pitcher Tarik Skubal. Identified as a potential ace, Skubal could fill a crucial need in the Mets' rotation.

Another arm on the Mets' radar is Michael King, a former New York Yankee. His experience pitching in the city is seen as a valuable asset.

Offensively, the Mets are considering Teruaki Sato, a Japanese player who could address the team's hole at first base. Sato, who won the Triple Crown in Japan last season, could also play third base, potentially allowing for positional changes for other players on the roster.
