Mark Vientos made his spring training debut for the New York Mets on Sunday against the New York Yankees down in Tampa at Steinbrenner Field. Vientos started at first base and went 0-for-3 at the plate, but is hoping for much better results this season after underachieving last year.
The biggest and most important job for any baseball player is performing on the field. New York Mets starting pitcher Sean Manaea didn't manage to do that as much as he would have liked during the 2025 season.

Now that the New York Mets’ offseason is presumably over from a player-acquisition standpoint, it is time to turn our attention to how the roster will shake out during spring training.
The New York Mets’ pitching staff was nearly unhittable in Sunday’s spring training opener against the Miami Marlins. The Mets utilized seven pitchers who combined to give up just two runs (one earned) on two hits, three walks, and combined to strikeout nine.
The 2026 MLB season is right around the corner, and it is never too early to start thinking about how it might unfold. Seemingly, every year, we have a decent handle on who should contend and who is likely to struggle, which makes looking ahead to the trade deadline inevitable.
When Pete Alonso signed a five-year, $155 million deal with the Baltimore Orioles in free agency during the offseason, it became clear that the New York Mets needed to find another first baseman.
Spring training isn’t about winning games — it’s about getting players ready for the long, grueling season ahead. It’s also a time for prospects to make impressions on big league coaches and teammates.
Kodai Senga has had an interesting up-and-down career with the New York Mets so far. After having a solid rookie year and being named an All-Star in that same season, he has been hit by the injury bug ever since.
Baseball is back. Well sort of. Spring Training action is underway around Major League Baseball, and the New York Mets took the field for the first time in 2026 on Saturday against an old foe and the team that ended their season in game 162 just a year ago, the Miami Marlins.
As the New York Mets prepare to play their first spring training game of 2026, one position remains up for grabs: right field. Here’s a look at the options and who is vying for the spot ahead of Opening Day (March 26).
The New York Mets took a massive gamble when they chose not to re-sign Pete Alonso and instead went in a rather interesting direction to fill the void at first base.
The new MLB season brings opportunities as players head into their walk years and try to rebound from subpar performances. These 25 players stand out heading into 2026.
If the New York Mets are to reach their ceiling and advance as far as they'd like during the 2026 season, they'll need rookie Nolan McLean to perform up to his potential.
The box score screamed February baseball, and yeah, it felt like it too. The New York Mets rolled out a lineup packed with recognizable names Saturday in Port St.
Bo Bichette got his first taste of live play in a New York Mets uniform on Saturday as the team opened up Grapefruit League play against the Miami Marlins.
The Marlins defeated the Mets 2-1 in the opening game of Grapefruit League play. The Mets were no-hit in the contest until the fifth and threatened late, but were unable to pull out the late-inning comeback.
Although he likely won’t take part in any Spring Training games this year, New York Mets superstar Francisco Lindor is still doing his best to support his teammates ahead of the season.
The Mets didn’t just lose a shortstop when Francisco Lindor went under the knife on February 11. They lost their metronome, their emotional thermostat, the one guy in that clubhouse who can flip a bad Tuesday into a winning streak by sheer force of personality.

The thing about pitching prospects is everyone loves them until it’s time to actually wait for them. Right now the New York Mets don’t have that problem with Jonah Tong.
The New York Mets start a new chapter this year after moving several superstars off their roster during the offseason. With many cornerstones of the team no longer in New York, Francisco Lindor was supposedly in line to become the official captain of the Mets.
Cohen recently revealed that the Mets will never have an official captain under his watch. Prior to that pronouncement, Lindor had long been considered the leading candidate to earn the honor if the Mets decided to bestow it.
The New York Mets will start the 2026 campaign with a very different team from their Opening Day roster from last year. They no longer have Pete Alonso, Brandon Nimmo, Jeff McNeil, and Edwin Diaz in the clubhouse.
Alleged clubhouse issues that impacted the Mets during their brutal collapse last season have generated articles and local sports-talk radio discussions throughout the winter and the early days of spring training.
