2025 New York Mets Manager and Key Players
New York ranks 1st for MLB payroll.
Major moves: Signed OF Juan Soto to a 15-year deal, Re-signed SP Sean Manaea to a 3-year deal, Signed SP Clay Holmes to a 3-year deal, Signed SP Frankie Montas to a 2-year deal, Signed SP Griffin Canning to a 1-year deal, Acquired OF Jose Sirí via trade from the Tampa Bay Rays, Re-signed Pete Alonso to a 2-year deal.
The Mets signed a quartet of starting pitchers. Including the re-signing of Manaea, who blossomed into a front-line contributor for the Mets in 2024. Holmes and Montas are both interesting, albeit very different, acquisitions for a pitching development group with an impressive track record.
The Mets entered the winter desperately needing to refurbish and reinforce their starting pitching. Three of the team’s four playoff starters hit free agency. Also, the only returner, Kodai Senga, started just one regular-season game in 2024.
In 2024, Carlos Mendoza became the manager of the Mets. Previously, he served as a New York Yankees coach from 2018 through 2023. He replaced Buck Showalter.
Namely, Juan Soto’s arrival represents a new online betting era in New York baseball and makes the Mets contenders for the foreseeable future. Owner Steve Cohen — who also had a strong year off the diamond — is a man who can afford such luxuries as a $765 million ballplayer.
1B Pete Alonso is the marquee man of the Mets. In 2023, Alonso produced 92 runs, 21 doubles, 46 home runs, and 118 RBI with a .217 average and .822 OPS. Alonso is a 4-time NL All-Star. Last year, Alonso hit .240 with 34 home runs and 88 RBI.
RHP Edwin Diaz is the Mets’ closer. In 2023, Diaz was 301 with a 1.31 ERA and 0.84 WHIP with 32 saves in 35 opportunities. Last year, Diaz was 6-4 with a 3.52 ERA and 20 saves.
In 2024, RHP Kodai Senga was sidelined almost all season after a stellar 2023 when, as a rookie, Senga was 12-7 with a 2.98 ERA and 1.22 WHIP. As a result, he was named an NL All-Star.
