Following the Mets' 2-1 loss in their spring training opener to the Marlins on Saturday, manager Carlos Mendoza spoke to the media to give insight on the game and what's to come down the line.

The Miami Marlins kick off Grapefruit League play on Saturday against the New York Mets. The Marlins have released their first starting lineup this spring.

Bichette made two plays, including a long throw to Jose Rojas, who couldn't handle it for an error on the first baseman.

It took one New York Mets spring training game for a Bo Bichette at third base overreaction.

The Mets have several top ranked prospects at big-league camp this spring, some hitters who could make their debut this year.

Tobias Myers, P — The second part of the trade that brought Peralta to Flushing, Myers, 27, had a promising rookie year in 2024, pitching to a 3.00 ERA in 27 games (25 starts). He primarily worked out of the bullpen last year and had a 3.55 ERA in 22 appearances (50 2⁄3 innings). Myers can start and pitch in long relief.

The first New York Mets spring training lineup offers one positive and one potential troubling hint for what's to come.

The lineup features steadiness from Lindor, Bichette, Polanco and Juan Soto. Elsewhere, consistency is a question. The final five or so spots in the batting order — Semien, Luis Robert Jr., Francisco Alvarez and Brett Baty — contain plenty of variance.

How the Mets' bench shakes out will have a lot to do with whether Carson Benge makes the team as the starting right fielder, and who the regular designated hitter winds up being.
