1. SS Francisco Lindor
The New York Mets 2024 MVP took off when he shifted to the leadoff spot, as Francisco Lindor led the team to a surprise postseason run all the way to the NLCS.

2024 MLB REGULAR SEASON STATS

Wins Above Replacement (WAR): 6.9
Games: 152
AVG: .273
H: 169
R: 107
HR: 33
RBI: 91
SB: 29
BB: 56
OPS: .844
2. RF Juan Soto
The crown jewel of the MLB offseason, Juan Soto's debut in Orange and Blue is as big as any in franchise history. If he plays up to his contract, Soto will be the best position player to suit up in Queens.

2024 MLB REGULAR SEASON STATS

WAR: 7.9
Games: 157
AVG: .288
H: 166
R: 128
HR: 41
RBI: 109
SB: 7
BB: 129
OPS: .989

*Signed a 15-year, $765 million contract with the Mets this offseason, the largest contract in professional sports history.
3. 1B Pete Alonso
Welcome back! It was nip-and-tuck deep into free agency before slugger Pete Alonso signed on the dotted line to remain in the only uniform he's known as a pro. His power righty bat provides some much-needed protection for Soto.

2024 MLB REGULAR SEASON STATS

WAR: 2.6
Games: 162
AVG: .240
H: 146
R: 91
HR: 34
RBI: 88
SB: 3
BB: 70
OPS: .788
4. 3B Mark Vientos
The biggest revelation for the 2024 Mets was the emergence of Mark Vientos as an everyday player and potentially a middle-of-the-order star. From spring training afterthought to postseason hero, Vientos is counted on for big things in 2025 and beyond.

2024 MLB REGULAR SEASON STATS

WAR: 3.1
Games: 111
AVG: .266
H: 110
R: 58
HR: 27
RBI: 71
SB: 0
BB: 33
OPS: .837
5. LF Brandon Nimmo
The longest-tenured Met solidifies one of the best one-through-fives in Major League Baseball. Brandon Nimmo, one of the most patient hitters in the game, has surprised many with his blossoming power in his 30s.

2024 MLB REGULAR SEASON STATS

WAR: 2.2
Games: 151
AVG: .224
H: 128
R: 88
HR: 23
RBI: 90
SB: 15
BB: 77
OPS: .727

6. DH Starling Marte
With a lefty on the mound for the Astros, Carlos Mendoza turns to veteran Starling Marte as the right-handed bat in New York's DH platoon with Jesse Winker. Marte was better in 2024 than in 2023, but he's no longer an everyday player and is better suited for a part-time role.

2024 MLB REGULAR SEASON STATS

WAR: 0.7
Games: 94
AVG: .269
H: 90
R: 46
HR: 7
RBI: 40
SB: 16
BB: 27
OPS: .715
7. CF Jose Siri
Known more for his glove, David Stearns brought Jose Siri to Citi Field to shore up the team's outfield defense. His all-or-nothing, swing-for-the-fences approach will provide some pop but not much in batting average. Tyrone Taylor also expects to see plenty of action in center.

2024 MLB REGULAR SEASON STATS (TB)

WAR: 1.8
Games: 130
AVG: .187
H: 75
R: 50
HR: 18
RBI: 47
SB: 14
BB: 31
OPS: .620

*Acquired in an offseason trade from the Tampa Bay Rays.

8. C Luis Torrens
With starting catcher Francisco Alvarez on the IL to start the season, Mendoza turns to Luis Torrens as his Opening Day backstop. The Mets acquired Torrens from the New York Yankees last season to improve their catching depth.

2024 MLB REGULAR SEASON STATS

WAR: 0.7
Games: 47
AVG: .229
H: 27
R: 14
HR: 3
RBI: 15
SB: 0
BB: 9
OPS: .665
9. 2B Luisangel Acuña
Unless the Mets make a last-minute deal ahead of Opening Day, expect youngster Luisangel Acuña to be in tomorrow's lineup against Houston. With veteran Jeff McNeil on the mend to start the season, Acuña and Brett Baty are expected to hold down the fort at second base.

2024 MLB REGULAR SEASON STATS

Games: 14
AVG: .308
