As of now, the Mets are not looked at as a playoff team at least on paper.
Most projections have them somewhere around the 80-85 win mark if all goes right.
But don’t tell that to anyone in the Mets clubhouse.
This team could be sneaky good.
Their shortstop Francisco Lindor joined Joel Sherman and Jon Heyman on “The Show” podcast from spring training in Port St. Lucie, Florida.
Lindor talked about what he has seen so far from this team early on and what to expect from the 2024 Mets.
‘The Show’ podcast with Joel Sherman & Jon Heyman:
- METS CAMP: Watching young prospects early on. Jon thinks Jett Williams is going to be a star. The Mets have much better depth this year in the rotation and in the field.
- YANKEES CAMP: Does the Yankees rotation have some question marks? The Yankees had guys come up and do well last year.
