Mets All-Quarter Century Team highlights the franchise’s best at each position from 2000 through 2025, anchored by a mix of Hall-of-Fame impact and modern power. Pete Alonso anchors first base after a rookie-record 53 homers in 2019 and a growing legacy as the Mets’ all-time home run leader. Francisco Lindor drives the infield as the heartbeat of the club’s new era, while the pitching staff leans on Jacob deGrom’s dominant run and Edwin Diaz’s closing prowess to define the era’s peak moments.

Across the outfield, Brandon Nimmo blends longevity with leadership, and a cadre of legends—Mike Piazza behind the plate, David Wright at third, and the likes of Jeff McNeil at second and others who left lasting imprints—illustrate a franchise that blends rich history with a forward-looking core. The selection also nods to historic contributors like Edgardo Alfonzo and Carl Beltran as honorable mentions. The piece underscores the Cohen era’s promise: a foundation built on elite tin—position by position—while chasing another World Series run in the first quarter of the century’s second era.

Beyond the starters, the rotation features deGrom, Santana, Dickey, Leiter, and Harvey in a Mets pantheon, complemented by Diaz’s era-defining closer work. It’s a roster that reads like a bridge from a storied past to a hopeful present, balancing franchise records, playoff runs, and the evolving fantasy value of a lineup that still feels generationally relevant for fantasy managers and bettors alike.
