The team announced Thursday that they're working on an address change for Citi Field that would officially rename that part of 126th Street after the legendary pitcher.
A source told the Daily News that a Seaver statue will be on display by next year.
Tributes to Seaver have been pouring in over the last couple of weeks since his family made the announcement that the 74-year-old was diagnosed with dementia and retired from public life.
"Tom will continue to work in his beloved vineyard at his California home," an announcement earlier this month read. "The family is deeply appreciative of those who have supported Tom throughout his career, on and off the field, and who do so now by honoring his request for privacy. We join Tom in sending warmest regards to everyone.''
The pitcher is credited with helping the legendary "Amazin' Mets" team claim victory in the 1969 World Series against the Baltimore Orioles.
The Mets are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the 1969 team this year.
