The New York Mets finished the 2024 season with an 89-73 record, securing third place in the NL East. After a rocky start, the team found its stride in June, thanks in part to manager Carlos Mendoza's strategic lineup changes, notably moving Francisco Lindor to lead-off.

Lindor had a standout season, achieving impressive stats including 33 home runs and 29 stolen bases. Mark Vientos emerged as a key player at third base, boasting the best OPS among NL third basemen. José Iglesias also shone with a .337 batting average, while Sean Manaea excelled as the pitching ace.

Despite some struggles from players like Brandon Nimmo and injuries affecting Kodai Senga, the Mets managed to maintain a competitive edge. The offseason presents challenges, with many key players becoming free agents, but the potential addition of superstar Juan Soto could significantly enhance their lineup.
