The holiday season is here and the Mets are still in the midst of the current offseason. Not too many moves really need to be made at this point generally speaking, but that does not mean that any trade or free-agent possibilities should be ruled out by any means.

There is still a lot of time in the offseason to make some moves if general manger Sandy Alderson chooses to do so. Time will tell whether anything ends up occurring.

Here are three available players still within the Mets' reach.

Multi-million dollar free-agent signings and blockbuster trades dominate the headlines during the MLB offseason, and understandably so, but there is something to be said for taking a chance on a low-risk, high-reward candidate.

Gilberto Suarez entered a guilty plea on Tuesday for his role in the illegal smuggling of Los Angeles Dodgers star Yasiel Puig. Suarez pleaded guilty to an alien smuggling conspiracy charge.   

For now, Alex Rodriguez has one job: help the New York Yankees at the plate. 

The Cleveland pitching staff got a boost on Tuesday as the team signed right-handed starting pitcher Gavin Floyd.     

The team announced the move on Twitter:

Jordan Bastian of MLB.com has more details on the contract:

The list of potential fits to fill the Seattle Mariners' hole in right field seems to be shrinking by the day.

Melky Cabrera, likely Seattle's top target, agreed to a three-year deal with the Chicago White Sox on Sunday, per Bruce Levine of 670 The Score.

The Los Angeles Angels have upgraded their already-potent offense by acquiring outfielder Matt Joyce from the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for relief pitcher Kevin Jepsen. 

Details of the trade were confirmed by the Angels on Twitter:

The only downside of having so many things happen at the Winter Meetings last week is Major League Baseball didn't spread the wealth. Instead of free agents or teams waiting for a day or two in between all of their action, movement has been fairly quiet since everyone left San Diego. 

The New York Yankees have brought back veteran pitcher Chris Capuano on a one-year contract worth $5 million.

Jack Curry of the YES Network passed along word of the deal:

New York later confirmed the move via their Twitter account:

With so many of the league's top free agents signed to big contracts, MLB teams still looking to make an offseason splash will likely have to do so via trade.
