The New York Mets might have a superstitious aversion to Santa, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have a few things on their wish list this holiday season.

After a disappointing 2018 things are looking up for the New York Mets, who have made some nice pickups this offseason that are sure to improve their roster going into next year. Robinson Cano, Edwin Diaz and Wilson Ramos are all fixing to look pretty good in the orange and blue, and it doesn’t seem like rookie GM Brodie Van Wagenen is done dealing quite yet, which isn’t something Mets fans are exactly used to.

With that being said, things could always be better. The Mets haven’t been the only NL East team strengthening their roster this winter; the Phillies and Braves have also made some big moves, and it looks like next years’ division title could go to pretty much anybody (except for the Marlins). With a lot of free agents still available and plenty of good players on the trading block it’s quite possible that the most important move in the NL East hasn’t even been made yet.
