Baty Becomes Mets' Swiss Army Knife as Lindor Works Toward Opening Day

The Mets push Brett Baty into a versatile super-utility role (third, second, first and outfield) after Bo Bichette’s signing; Francisco Lindor is progressing from a hamate fracture and hopes to be ready for Opening Day; Christian Scott, 17 months from Tommy John, flashed velocity in a spring outing but has no rotation spot and remains depth; A.J. Minter is nearing a return from lat surgery with a target around late April/May; Robert Stock is sidelined with shoulder discomfort post-WBC and will undergo an MRI.

Puerto Rico Faces WBC Dilemma as Insurance Denials Threaten Roster

Team Puerto Rico is considering pulling out of the 2026 World Baseball Classic after several players, including captain Francisco Lindor, were denied insurance coverage amid stricter insurer rules. The National Financial Partners policy flags many players (often due to chronic injuries, recent surgeries, or age) and could force the team to replace key contributors as rosters are due shortly. Other affected players across teams, such as Miguel Rojas for Venezuela, underscore a broader insurance crunch impacting the WBC lineup with decisions looming before roster submission.

Insurance hurdles threaten to sideline WBC stars

Insurance constraints for the World Baseball Classic are sidelining several star players, with eight to ten Puerto Rican teammates potentially blocked from coverage and Team Puerto Rico weighing withdrawal; Francisco Lindor is among those denied due to elbow surgeries, as insurers tighten criteria after injuries in 2023. Rosters loom, and MLB/MLBPA are lobbying to loosen rules, while an age cap of 37 excludes some veterans and teams may have to absorb risk if players lack coverage.

Francisco Lindor Named 2025 MLB All-Star Starter

Francisco Lindor was named an All-Star starter for the first time in his Mets career, marking his fifth All-Star appearance overall. Despite recent struggles and a significant slump, he earned the fan vote as the Mets' lone starter, with Pete Alonso and Juan Soto likely to be reserves. Lindor's selection ends a long drought for Mets shortstops starting in the All-Star game, the last being Jose Reyes in 2007.

"Mets' Season Opener Nightmare: Offensive Struggles, Injuries, and Series Sweep by Brewers"

The New York Mets had a dismal start to the season, being swept at home by the Brewers and failing to impress in any aspect of the game. The team's hitting was lackluster, and they struggled to control the Brewers' running game. Additionally, pitcher Tylor Megill left the game with shoulder tenderness, adding injury to insult. The Mets' new administration, led by Carlos Mendoza, faces an uphill battle to win over a skeptical fan base and achieve their playoff goals for 2024.
