OT: NY Mets 2025 Season Thread

The full 67 man camp roster is up on Mets.com. Along with uniform numbers, for those who care, like me.

Brett Baty is now rocking #7, as Juan Soto exercised eminent domain over his #22. #7 had been in mothballs for five years, generating speculation that it would be retired for Reyes. Or maybe Kranepool? Those thoughts can be put aside for now.

Among the other prominent newbies (we already knew that Soto would keep 22).
  • Griffin Canning 46
  • Clay Holmes 35
  • A.J. Minter 33
  • Frankie Montas 47
  • Nick Madrigal 11 (they didn't let Iglesias' number get cold)
  • Jose Siri 19
#48 is unassigned, as it has been since deGrom left. Hmmmm.
 
75 rbi's last year.

Hasn't had 100 in a season since 2019.

And not sure what this is about but only 44 walks last year, typically would be 80+ for the amount of games he played. OBP of .315.
And funny that he also has opt out options...Why would he opt out?

I guess if he has a big year(hitting balls off and over the monster) he will look for a longer term deal?

Supposedly he had a 6 year $171m offer from the Tigers.
 
Mets in MLB Network Top 100 Right Now:

#4 - Juan Soto
#6 - Francisco Lindor
#49 - Pete Alonso
#81 - Mark Vientos
#91 - Brandon Nimmo

Was pleasantly surprised to see vientos there. Hoping he can keep that momentum going and he can rake like he did last year.
 
Stearns just said yesterday it's unlikely we're bringing back Iglesias because he wants the roster flexibility. If there's an injury maybe but seems the ship has sailed.
 
Lindor
Soto
Vientos
Alonso
Nimmo
Marte/Winker
Alvarez
McNeil/Acuna
Siri/Taylor

7-8 guys that can hit a mistake 450 feet

You need to come out ready to pitch from inning one
Possible Alvarez Siri @ 8-9 . Might be lower averages but you can easily give up a solo HR trying to avoid having men on base with Lindor and Soto looming

Key to season as in almost every season

If Lindor wants him back (I’m sure he does), I wouldn’t be shocked

Unreal!!! Pete produced better numbers, yet there was no market for him. BS

Wow, Pete is such a better player, it isn't even close!

It is amazing how many Astro's players had their best years ever in 2018 and 2019...

Take out those years and he is pretty much a good field, .265 20-25 HR guy with no speed.
Now- take a friendly RH hitter park like Fenway and we may see .280 30 100 but that isn't worth $40 mil
Imagine Pete's power numbers if he played there lol

Agree with the whole point but the funny thing is with this lineup- good chance the 8/9 guys have men on base when they come up- so, it may not be solo HR's.

Pitching- The two major pieces to starting pitching are really going to be Senga's health and if Peterson may be the real deal or not.

Peterson to me already proved he's the real deal. He pitched many great games. I consider him a #2 at worse.

Maybe. But on the other hand, maybe he is pitching for his spot on the Opening Day roster. He and Megill are still optionable. Their competition for rotation spots (Blackburn and Canning) are not.

When you are a major leaguer who is still optionable, life isn't always fair.

As they're going with the 6 man rotation I think Peterson is safe.

1. Senga
2. Manaea
3. Peterson
4. Montas
5. Holmes
6. Blackburn/Canning/Megill

Losers of #6 go to pen as long man in that Trevor Williams role. The other I'm not so sure. If it's Megill he might be better in a setup role.

I'm also not sure if Blackburn will be fully healthy to begin the season unless I missed something on that.

I don't think they will be in the six man rotation all season. I think it will be more of a swingman role, depending on off days. Maybe get 15-20 starts for the season.

I don't think you need both a swingman and a long man. I guess we'll see.

There are many things in life that I do not comprehend. One of them is why starting pitchers, who are pitching fewer innings per start than ever before, need an extra day of rest.

Spring is big for Mets
If Baty hits he may increase his value to help get a top end starter.
Baty
Acuña
Gilbert
Mauricio
Williams

Young guys should get plenty of at bats in the first few games and then plenty of at bats at the end of games

I'm not sure. It seems with Senga always wanting that extra rest and Holmes conversation to SP they'll be using that spot a lot. I think they will have a #6 or swing man and long man most of the year. Injuries will also take place as we know. Megill probably AAA to begin the season barring injuries.

And here is the thing- let’s say Senga really is tge Ace and Manaea and Peterson repeat last year…the rotation is all of a sudden very good.

Great Lineup, my immediate reaction is if as a team they cut down on strikeouts and make the defense make plays with men on, they’d be unstoppable.
But as I’ve said many times, pitching today is so overpowering it’s not realistic.
In today’s game you’ve got to live with the K’s with a guy on 3rd and less than two outs.
