"New York Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns is unlikely to run things back with the 2025 roster that shockingly missed the postseason, regardless of its star power. While the starting rotation and bullpen will need a considerable revamp, the starting lineup faces the very real possibility of some notable faces departing. Pete Alonso's future in Queens feels like it will come down to a coin flip."
"The 2024 season proved that Lindor was made for the Mets' lead-off position, and so did the first half of 2025. But then the injuries struck. Not only did he play through a broken pinky toe, but he was also dealing with an elbow injury that ultimately needed surgery after the season. Despite all that, he posted a 30/30 season for the second time in the last three years."
David Stearns is unlikely to keep the 2025 Mets roster intact after the team's shocking postseason miss. The starting rotation and bullpen will need substantial revamps. The starting lineup could lose notable players, with Pete Alonso's future uncertain and Mark Vientos and Ronny Mauricio possible trade candidates. Young prospects could earn major-league roster spots, not only in the rotation. The front office is prioritizing run prevention and improved defense. Consistent offense and a functional bottom of the lineup are necessary. Francisco Lindor performed well as the leadoff hitter despite injuries and produced a second 30/30 season.
