Sean Manaea will be used in a piggyback role to start the season, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said. It will likely be for two turns through the rotation.
English
In addition to Austin Warren, the Mets sent out Kevin Herget and Robert Stock today.
That leaves 15 healthy pitchers in camp. Fourteen have been assured jobs, with Bryan Hudson, Richard Lovelady and Craig Kimbrel still in contention for the one remaining spot.
Anthony DiComo@AnthonyDiComo
The Mets optioned Austin Warren today, further strengthening left-hander Bryan Hudson's position for that final bullpen spot. Richard Lovelady is also here though, and Mets officials have been open about their intention to scour the waiver wire/upward mobility pool for help.
English
@Patrick_am_I @AnthonyDiComo LOL, that was a temporary thing. Go look at the Mets last 3 years of Opening Day Rosters. All are 5 SPs and 8 RPs. No sign of 14 Ps used between 2023-2025

@WardyNYM Generally agree but it’s more likely that Pache gets sent to AAA > he makes the Mets. Yet he is hitting over .500. Why is that? Because he has options. Same w/ Melendez. Assuming Benge&Taylor make the team + the obvious 10, do u really think MJ had a chance over Tauchman & Pache?
English
I completely understand wanting to rep your country, especially when this may have been the only opportunity to do so
But MJ Melendez did himself zero favors by leaving Mets camp while trying to compete for a roster spot
New York Mets@Mets
We have made the following roster moves.

RHP Zack Littell and the Washington Nationals are in agreement on a contact, sources tell me and @JeffPassan.
Littell threw 186.2 innings last season with a 3.81 ERA for the Rays and Reds.

@htmlinacell @BMiggy I can only speak for myself. And I have been calling Pete Alonso a bad defender, not clutch, & not a winner FOR YEARS. I didn’t start once he was gone. He was a terrific Met & role model for many. But they didn’t win anything with him & what he was bad at was hurting the team.
English
@zsamansky5 @BMiggy Nothing in my tweets said that the Mets should have signed Pete Alonso or criticized the Mets for not signing him.
I am criticizing the low-IQ Twitter horde that turned on a dime the nanosecond he left and started calling him an unclutch choking loser which is demonstrably false
English
Of course not but I think being the second worst defensive 1B and hobbling in LF last two months of season probably didn’t help the pitching too much
Alonso trying to murder SP on routine plays certainly didn’t
@HTMLinaCell@htmlinacell
@can_throwaway @t_marccc @BMiggy Yes, Pete Alonso and Brandon Nimmo definitely conspired together to make Frankie Montas and Ryan Helsley give up 235 home runs in ten innings. Totally normal blame-distribution
English
@htmlinacell @BMiggy No offense but how do you watch that compilation of errors and still attempt to defend yourself? And to be fair that’s just a small fraction of the actual total. You really watch that kind of defense and think an intelligent group of baseball evaluators can resign him for 5/155?
English
@BMiggy We already did this a few weeks ago, where you tried to make the unsupportable contention that the Mets' pitching was bad (5th worst ERA from June 1 to the end of the season) solely because of Pete Alonso errors, then I debunked your bullshit and you slunk off without responding

Tomorrow, our boys hit The Winter Olympics stage!
Nemo wants you seated and ready.

All-around? Yes. Hitter? No.

@BrandonTierney Is Kyle Tucker better than Juan Soto?
English
@amandacstein @NJDevils But he’ll be healthy enough to play in the Four Nations..
English
Jack Hughes will not play tomorrow for #NJDevils. Medical staff not comfortable enough for him to play.
English
@BMiggy @DeedsEthan Wenninger, Santucci, Gordon will all be in AAA to start the season along w/ Tong & Scott. Pretty good stuff if you ask me. Watson & Thornton are not far off a promotion to AAA after a nice showing in AA last season. Not to mention Peralta, McLean, Holmes, Peterson, Manaea, Senga.
English
@DeedsEthan Mets have like 6 super interesting SP arms in minors that will all be in AAA sooner or later. Relax
English
Really need people to understand that having a good farm means not needing to get old stopgaps for “insurance”
All it does is block an opportunity for someone

Who else wants JOSÉ QUINTANA back in Queens? 🙋♂️🙋♀️#LGM

@nypostsports @Joelsherman1 @JonHeyman You’re telling us now?! Did you do ANYTHING at all to try to fix it in the moment? Your team went 38-55 in the final 93 games? You had 162 games or 6 months and 1 day to fix it and you didn’t. This fanbase wants better in 2026. Start the improvement NOW!
English
Carlos Mendoza believes the biggest issue with the Mets clubhouse last season was that they were too "corporate" and "didn't celebrate each other enough." @Joelsherman1 @JonHeyman
English
@threulsen2961 @BMiggy @KirkC_ Here’s another way to look at it considering you agree they are a better team incoming 2026.. Do you really think they could have done all of this adding if it meant having to give Alonso 5/155? I will interject: NO!
English
@threulsen2961 @BMiggy @KirkC_ Right I get that but Bill he was a lousy defensive 1B. If you ask me, he was the worst defensive 1B in the league for 7 years. And prior to 2025 season he was not a clutch player with the bat.
English
Mets can simply void the opt out, by the way
But keep saying stupid shit bro! Proud of you sweety
Bill from NY@threulsen2961
@BMiggy In 4 years when Soto opts out and chases money, keep the same energy. Most pro athletes bag chase
English
@threulsen2961 @BMiggy @KirkC_ And oh right: a full season of McLean, Minter, Raley, and Benge. Can we just be happy for the strides this team has made and what our POBO has done for us in 2026 rather than the negativity? This team needed a change. Clutch and chemistry wasn’t a thing in the past. Let’s move on
English
@threulsen2961 @BMiggy @KirkC_ Bichette is a better all around player than Alonso, Semien is a better player than McNeil, Robert is a better player than Taylor, Williams & Weaver are better than 1 of Diaz, would it really surprise you if Polanco puts up equal or better numbers than Nimmo? Don’t forget Peralta
