Benge's bid to make Mets' Opening Day roster coming down to wire
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- The friends and lockermates that used to surround Carson Benge are mostly gone. Those who once joined Benge on the clubhouse couches for chess matches or simple conversations -- A.J. Ewing, Nick Morabito, Jacob Reimer, Ryan Clifford and the like -- have all been reassigned
Mets face tough decision on Kimbrel as legend looks to extend career
JUPITER, Fla. -- Through five Grapefruit League outings, Craig Kimbrel has issued five free passes and hit two batters.

Lindor feels 'pretty much like myself' in reassuring spring debut
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- At one point Sunday, Francisco Lindor dived to his left in hopes of corralling a Jesús Sánchez single. An inning later, Lindor hit a foul ball a projected 391 feet down the right-field line at Clover Park, plenty deep enough to have been a home
McLean raring to go in Classic title tilt: 'I'm built for this'
MIAMI -- When the United States assembled its super team for this World Baseball Classic, the selections were skewed toward established stars not just because of their talent but because of the guaranteed contracts that make them more prone to participate.
1 player who has made a big impression in each camp

8 months after Draft, Mets' top pick gets 1st spring start (and 1st hit!)
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- While it’s commonplace for prospects from Minor League camp to see an at-bat or two late in Grapefruit League games, it’s rare for one to log significant time on the Major League diamond. It’s rarer still for one to start. Yet there was Mitch Voit,

Finally healthy, Senga looks to recapture dominance -- and raise Mets' ceiling in '26
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- The exasperation that Mets fans and officials have sometimes felt about Kodai Senga is rooted in his talent. At his best, Senga has been a dynamic force on the mound, capable of throwing in the upper 90s and possessing some of the most lethal secondary
Soto's swim move a highlight in Dominican Republic's romp

Minter impresses Lindor in live BP as he ramps up from lat injury

As Robert makes debut, Mets know 'the sky’s the limit' if he stays healthy
JUPITER, Fla. -- The Mets employ one player, Marcus Semien, who has appeared in all 162 games of a season three times in his career. Pete Alonso did it the past two years for New York. Francisco Lindor has come close on several occasions. Luis Robert Jr. will not join
Manaea, Mets have zero concerns about drop in fastball velo
JUPITER, Fla. -- To be clear, Sean Manaea says, he is fully healthy. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza agrees. But Manaea’s fastball velocity, a note of concern following his Grapefruit League debut Friday, is rapidly becoming a talking point.

Here's a fresh look at Mets' potential Opening Day roster
NEW YORK -- The first month of Spring Training did not alter much regarding the Mets’ roster picture. No one has won or lost a job just yet. No one has relinquished a spot due to injury. Surely, some of that will change between now and Opening Day. In the

MIAMI -- This Dominican Republic lineup is all-time. And so are its home run celebrations.
