Assuming everyone else comes out of the next few days healthy, Canario figures to land back on the waiver wire this week. He's out of options, and the Mets don't have a roster spot for him. pic.twitter.com/4f6qe8Lj9e
News: The Mets optioned Dedniel Núñez to Triple-A Syracuse. He had always been trending as likely not *quite" ready to make the Opening Day roster.
— Anthony DiComo (@AnthonyDiComo) March 23, 2025
That opens a spot for either Max Kranick or Huascar Brázoban in the Opening Day bullpen.
Welp. He's definitely not going back to Mets now. White Sox might as well keep him all year with any ups and downs. Rooting for Mike Vasil big time still. https://t.co/Z0IxFVXMet

Jett Williams will open the season with Double-A Binghamton, David Stearns said on SNY.

Tim Healey Newsday: Tylor Megill's impressive spring training earns spot in Mets' rotation. "Megill will start the Mets’ second game of the season against the Astros, manager Carlos Mendoza said Sunday. That lines him up to pitch the home opener on April 4 against the Blue Jays, the second time in three years he would have that honor...The Mets remain big believers in Megill, who at 29 is entering his fifth major-league season. He owns a career 4.56 ERA in 74 games. In each of the past two years, he struggled to such a degree that the team demoted him to Triple-A Syracuse.
Anthony DiComo Mets.com: Mets solidify five-man rotation to begin 2025. "All but officially, the Mets have named their Opening Day rotation. 1. Clay Holmes, RHP...2. Tylor Megill, RHP...3. Griffin Canning, RHP...4. David Peterson, LHP...5. Kodai Senga, RHP."
Joel Sherman NY Post Sports+: Mets’ patience with once-embattled quartet is paying off. "Because the Mets do not rally to the playoffs without unexpected contributions from Iglesias, Vientos, Megill and Peterson. Think about the patience involved, particularly, with Vientos, Megill and Peterson. Want to add Brett Baty for this season? Since part of the chorus of the past several years has been that the Mets should stop giving that quartet more chances...Now all four have key roles with a 2025 Mets team with championship dreams." (subscription required)
Mike Puma NY Post: Dedniel Núñez sent to Triple-A for start of Mets season after slow spring buildup. "The right-handed reliever was optioned Sunday to Triple-A Syracuse, where he will continue his buildup for later consideration as an addition to the Mets bullpen."
Abbey Mastracco NY Daily News: Mets Notebook: Questions remain about final Mets roster spots. "In the waning days of spring training, the Mets aren’t completely sold on some of the options they have left for the final few spots on their 2025 Opening Day roster, leading them to seek outside help in the form of a right-handed hitting infielder. It’s highly unlikely they’ll be able to sneak Canario through waivers."
Joel Sherman NY Post Sports+: Inside Yankees’ and Mets’ pursuit of right-handed bat before Opening Day. "Both New York teams continue to try to find a righty-hitting bat as spring training nears conclusion, with the Mets emphasizing an infielder and the Yankees looking for an infielder and/or corner outfielder. Interestingly, both teams had a shot at signing or re-signing Jose Iglesias to fill just this role and passed. Iglesias instead signed a minor league deal on March 8 with the Padres that will be worth $3 million in the majors. The indicators are that he is going to make the Padres...If the Mets do not secure the infielder in the next 72-ish hours, Acuña will probably start Opening Day against Astros lefty ace Framber Valdez."
