The Bergen Record: NY Mets Top 10 list of New Year's Resolutions for 2025: From Juan Soto to Clay Holmes. Here's the Top 3: 1. Juan Soto: To handle the pressure cooker... again;  2. Kodai Senga: To come back healthy; 3. Francisco Lindor: To get off to a hot start."

Brian Joura Mets360: A look at the Mets' Starting Pitching.  Mets 360 recently moved to Substack.  You can currently subscribe for free.  Brian and the other writers do a great job analyzing the Mets.  In this article he looks at the Mets starting pitching in 2024 and the upcoming season, including this intresting fact - "Somehow, the Mets finished fifth in the majors in innings from their starters in 2024, with 892.2 IP. While that number is helped due to the fact that they didn’t use an opener, it’s still shocking if you remember the beginning of the season, when it seemed like Mendoza used any excuse to go to his bullpen. The first 17 games of the season, the Mets had just three times where a starter completed six innings, with two of those by José Buttó, who they bent over backwards not to use as a starter."
