Here’s a deep look at the Mets, who will look to repeat their 101 win regular-season magic from last year, but this time will try to cap it with a World Series trophy.
In constructing a team that carries a $364 million payroll into this season, Mets general manager Billy Eppler emphasized depth as much as star players.
A deeper look at the Mets, who will look to repeat their 101 win regular-season magic from last year, but this time will try to cap it with a World Series trophy:Pete Alonso last year became the first player in franchise history to hit 40 homers in a season twice , and the Mets needed all of that power. Behind Alonso, the Mets have other players who can hit homers , but are hardly a unit of mashers. It’s up to Alonso to carry the load offensively.
The Mets rewarded Jeff McNeil with a $50 million contract extension after he won the NL batting title.Francisco Lindor rebounded from an underwhelming first season with the Mets and began his 10-year contract worth $341 million with a flourish. That included a .270/.339/.449 slash line with 26 homers and 107 RBIs in 161 games. The boos Lindor heard at Citi Field the previous season disappeared, and the shortstop finally seemed to embrace his new surroundings.
