Tim Healey Newsday: A look at the Mets' roster as spring training approaches. Time looks at the project Mets roster, position by position. About the starting rotation Tim notes: "...the Mets are heading into a season without a Cy Young Award winner in the rotation. Senga is the closest thing they have to an ace...The rest of the group consists of someone trying to rebound from the worst year of his career (Severino), someone who will try to make the second half of his 30s as successful as the first half (Quintana) and a pair of guys trying to make the jump (back) to being full-time members of the rotation (Manaea and Houser)."
Mike Puma NY Post: Five Mets that can lift team above mediocre expectations. Luis Severino, Brett Baty, Starling Marte, Francisco Alvarez and Edwin Diaz are the 5. About Francisco Alvarez Mike states: "The ball exploded off the rookie’s bat on plenty of occasions last season, but he also finished with a 95 OPS+, suggesting he was below average offensively...Maybe the question for this season — that could in part determine whether the Mets exceed expectations — is whether the 22-year-old catcher will just continue with steady improvement or if he will leap into stardom."
SNY.TV: Harrison Bader excited to reunite with Mets slugger, former college teammate Pete Alonso. "'Pete’s my guy, I think I’m already locker mates with him in spring training and for the regular season' Bader said. 'His approach, his energy, his focus and just how calm and poised he is at all times are all things I'm going to latch onto.'"
