The New York Mets kick off the 2025 season in Houston in about three weeks on March 27th. As more Mets regulars get into game action in spring training, let’s dive into what the Opening Day roster could look like.
Starting Lineup:
SS – Francisco Lindor
RF – Juan Soto
3B – Mark Vientos
1B – Pete Alonso
LF – Brandon Nimmo
DH – Jesse Winker
C – Francisco Alvarez
2B – Jeff McNeil
CF – Jose Siri
Bench:
C – Luis Torrens
OF – Tyrone Taylor
OF/DH – Starling Marte
2B/3B/SS – Luisangel Acuña
(4 players)
The starting lineup is pretty much set for the Mets. Francisco Lindor, Juan Soto, Mark Vientos, and Pete Alonso will play 162 games or as close to it as possible. The second half of the lineup, however, may see plenty of movement over the course of the season.
Brandon Nimmo is going to play a lot if he is healthy, but the question is if he will be 100 percent. The plantar fasciitis saga will be something to watch with Nimmo as the season progresses; he and the Mets seem confident that he’ll be out there every day, but it is a situation worth monitoring.
