Former Dodgers fan favorite gunning for glory with NL rival
"This is a really good group. They've got a chance to do something special. You never know how a team is gonna come together, but the talent is here. This roster is as talented as any team in the major leagues. It just has to come together organically."
"New York may have dropped 12.5 games in the back half of the 2025 season to miss out on October baseball, but the talent on their team is undeniable heading into 2026. Although they lost All-Stars Edwin Diaz and Pete Alonso in free agency, they still have Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor as well as new arrivals Devin Williams, Marcus Semien and Bo Bichette."
Austin Barnes, a former Los Angeles Dodgers catcher, signed with the New York Mets on a minor league deal during the offseason and remains in their major league camp. Despite a disappointing 2025 season where the Mets missed the playoffs after significant free agent signings, Barnes expresses confidence in the team's potential. The roster features star players Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor alongside new acquisitions Devin Williams, Marcus Semien, and Bo Bichette. FanGraphs projects the Mets to win nearly 90 games with a 37.2% chance to win the NL East. Barnes has posted a .889 OPS in spring training, demonstrating solid performance early in camp.
