The new era in Queens likely will not include a pair of unique Mets characters.

The inflexible but intriguing bat of Daniel Vogelbach and the flexible but light-hitting Luis Guillorme were not tendered contracts at Friday’s deadline.

Both fixtures of the team for varying lengths of time have become free agents.

Vogelbach was probably the most polarizing player the Mets had under contract.

In one year, Vogelbach went from a cult hero to the most booed player at Citi Field. 

The niche contributor never played a game in the field with the club in a season and a half, is a liability on the bases and cannot hit lefty pitchers.

The lefty hitter’s career specialty has been crushing righty pitching, which he only did sporadically last season.

Vogelbach, whose offensive approach revolves around taking pitches and selectively swinging, struggled for much of the first half. He bounced back when the team was out of the running and posted a strong .825 OPS during the second half, but it appears David Stearns’ Mets will value a more balanced player (or players) at designated hitter for next season.

Guillorme has been a wizard with the glove since debuting in 2018, but has hit just five home runs in six seasons with the Mets.

The 29-year-old became expendable with the rise of Ronny Mauricio, whose offensive game has a much higher ceiling and who the Mets hope can grow into the type of flexible, go-anywhere defender Guillorme has been. 

The Vogelbach and Guillorme calls were the biggest decisions on a busy day of them, when each MLB team had to decide whether to extend contracts to players who are under club control and on 40-man rosters but have not accrued enough service time to be eligible for free agency.

The Mets additionally non-tendered righties Sam Coonrod, Jeff Brigham and Trevor Gott.

Among the no-brainers, the Mets extended contracts to Pete Alonso and lefties David Peterson and Joey Lucchesi (salaries will be determined later).

They also extended a contract to righty Drew Smith, which seemed like an iffy call, as well as agreeing to a one-year pact with outfielder DJ Stewart, who will make $1.38 million, according to The Post’s Jon Heyman.

Stewart was a bit of a surprise, parlaying a strong second half into another chance.

Given a prolonged shot for a Mets club that first was sinking and then sold at the trade deadline, Stewart became one of the few reasons to watch the club through August and September.

The right fielder finished the season with an .840 OPS that included 11 home runs in 58 games.

The Mets were excited about the hard-throwing Coonrod in spring training, but a lat strain knocked him out until August.

He threw just 6 ²/₃ major league innings last season and walked eight, never looking right after the injury.

Brigham, acquired from the Marlins in November 2022, impressed early but began getting hit hard in June.

The righty bounced between Triple-A Syracuse and the majors the rest of the season, and finished with a 5.26 ERA in 37 ²/₃ innings. 

The Mets essentially bought Gott in early July for a last-ditch attempt at contending and staving off a deadline sell-off. The Mets still sold, and Gott was merely OK.

The 31-year-old righty had an up-and-down three months with the club that finished with his allowing 14 earned runs in 29 innings (4.34 ERA). The Mets will either try to find a better depth reliever or one cheaper than the roughly $2 million that it would have taken to bring back Gott.

The Mets, who already lost the opting-out Adam Ottavino, will only return bullpen certainties in Edwin Diaz and Brooks Raley.

They have a lot of bullpen work to do as well as a lot of roster work, with just 27 players remaining on their 40-man.
