Coming off a disappointing end to an 83-79 season in which the team missed the playoffs on the last day of the regular season, the Mets and their fans hope to bounce back in 2026 with the help of new players like Bo Bichette, Jorge Polanco, Freddy Peralta, Devin Williams, Luke Weaver and Marcus Semien.
