Top Mets players to watch
The Mets pulled off some jaw-dropping offseason moves to reinforce this roster. While the infield remains anchored by elite switch-hitting shortstop Francisco Lindor, the biggest story is the arrival of superstar Bo Bichette. The former Blue Jay has had a rough start to 2026, but should soon find his rhythm and deliver high-level contact hitting.
Blockbuster acquisitions weren’t just limited to the infield. The front office traded for dynamic center fielder Luis Robert Jr. to add an elite power-speed combo to the outfield. On the mound, recently acquired right-handed ace Freddy Peralta brings a devastating arsenal and an aggressive mound presence to the top of the rotation.
