The anticipation for the upcoming MLB season is palpable, especially with the New York Mets. The team is evaluating its roster to determine how it can outperform its previous year's 89 wins. With a keen focus on player performance, they analyze the strengths of their offense, pitching, and bullpen to create a competitive edge. The Mets' manager, Carlos Mendoza, has mentioned that though spring training is underway, there's still time to refine the team's approach. Players like Paul Blackburn and Starling Marte are under scrutiny as injuries could impact their contributions significantly. The Mets need to ensure their offensive prowess exceeds last season's output, especially to maintain a top-eight offense, which statistically correlates with postseason appearances.
