Newsday:
- Tim Healey Newsday: Mets considering 'every scenario' to get Jeff McNeil on NLCS roster. "Just five weeks after breaking his right wrist, McNeil was scheduled to play at least seven innings and get four at-bats both Friday and Saturday in the Arizona Fall League, manager Carlos Mendoza said earlier Friday...Add McNeil, drop a pitcher...Add McNeil, drop Luisangel Acuna...Don’t add McNeil, keep everybody else. "
- David Lennon Newsday: No 'I' in team, but there is 'M-E-T' - Newsday. "And after so many years of trying to get it right, the Mets dialed up the correct combination again this season — really from Cohen through the 26th man on the roster — for their first trip to the NLCS in nine years and only the third in 24 years."
AP Sports:
- Rookie manager Carlos Mendoza’s magic touch has helped resurgent Mets reach NLCS "Mendoza managed with his eyes all year. He held players accountable without embarrassing them publicly. Sometimes he’d go by the book and pull a pitcher when expected. Other times he’d trust his instincts and stick with a starter or reliever in a potential jam."
- All aboard! Mets and Yankees only 2 stops away from first Subway Series in 24 years
NY Post:
- Francisco Alvarez 'won't stop' during Mets' magical ride. "It has been two weeks since Alvarez was out of the lineup during a game that mattered — and even that day, he pinch hit in the eighth inning and caught in the ninth. The Mets’ three days of rest between the NLDS and NLCS will be helpful for their pitching staff and helpful for players like Alvarez, but he was not asking for this respite."
- Mets using rare rest to make all-important NLCS decision "Kodai Senga, Luis Severino and Sean Manaea are all Game 1 options."
- Jon Heyman: California dreamin’! Gutsy Mets in prime position to knock off star-studded Dodgers
- How a McDonald's mascot became the Mets' good luck charm in their Amazin' 2024 postseason run
