About this episode
The New York Mets kick off their 2026 season at Citi Field, hosting the Pittsburgh Pirates in a three-game series starting March 26th. The Mets, who narrowly missed the playoffs last year, have revamped their roster with trades and new additions like Freddy Peralta, Devin Williams, Bo Bichette, Jorge Polanco, and Luis Robert Jr. The lineup now boasts a mix of established stars like Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor, and rising youth core including Nolan McLean, Carson Benge, and Francisco Alvarez. The bullpen, however, is still in the process of building around new arms like Luke Weaver and Brooks Raley, following the departure of Edwin Diaz. The Pirates, on the other hand, have young talent and a formidable ace in Paul Skenes, but face challenges with limited spending. This series sets the tone for what could be an exciting season for the Mets.
