I always love the beginning of the Major League Baseball season. The Hot Stove League, the off season, provides a lot of banter, both positive and negative, and gives way to a lot speculation. And once the season begins, it’s time to see if all of the action in the off season will amount to anything. For the New York Mets fans, that action fueled a lot of chatter…amongst my friends and sports colleagues as well. So what are the expectations for 2026?

And so it begins…the New York Mets 2026 season is about to get underway and it is the start of something different. Different because never in the history of the Mets franchise has there been such a vast turnover with a roster filled with newness, promise, and, of course, doubt.
