The Eastern Division looks like one of the strongest in the entire National League, since three of the five teams that comprise it have enough material to be finalists and play the World Series in 2025, today we will be ending with the analysis of the teams that are part of this conference, in previous publications, we have been able to analyze and give our opinion on the Miami Marlins, Washington Nationals, Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves, today we close with the New York Mets, this team had a second half of the 2024 campaign, totally magical, they finished the regular round with a record of 89 wins and 73 losses, this record made them qualify as the third wild card of the National League, but things did not get there, since in the postseason they were a very complicated opponent, so much so, that they got to play the series for the championship of the old circuit against the current champions, the Dodgers Angels, and that speaks very well of the work done by the manager and his coaching staff.

The Metropolitanos of the big apple, come with a reinforced offense, they have practically the same base of players that took them to the final for the championship of the National League in the last season, now they will have the luxury of having the coveted Juan Soto in their line up, these would be the nine starting players of this set, Francisco Lindor, shor stop, Juan Soto, right fielder, Pete Alonso, defender of the initial, Brandon Nimmo, left fielder, Mark Vientos, third base, Jesse Winker, designated player, Francisco Alvarez, catcher, Jeff McNeil, second base and the very fast Tyrone Taylor as center field, from first to last hitter these Mets look completely strong, if the Venezuelan Alvarez fulfills the promise of having a better season and Soto adapts to the game plan of manager Carlos Mendoza, this team should produce a lot of runs, the wins for this year could come earlier than last year.

As for the pitching, the Mets will not count for this season with the Dominican Luis Severino, who was vital for the Mets during the 2024 season, neither will be the Colombian Jose Quintana, who just signed with the Chicago Cubs, despite all that, in 2025 will have good arms in their rotation, Sean Manaea, Kodai Senga, Frankie Montas, Clay Holmes, David Paterson and Grffin Canning, ie, If the first 4 pitchers in the rotation fulfill their role, believe me those wins are almost certain, since the Mets will have good relief pitching and not to mention their closer, Edwin Diaz has been one of the best in those tasks in the major leagues, hence the importance of the solidity that their starters can have.
En conclusión, los Mets son candidatos a estar en la fiesta de los playoffs, la única duda que tengo es en la solidez que puedan tener sus abridores a lo largo de una campaña tan larga, son 162 juegos en donde se necesita mantener el mejor nivel posible, depende de las posiciones que ocupen al mes de julio, seguramente traigan vía cambio a par de lanzadores, por lo demás son claros favoritos a conseguir el título divisional del este de la liga Nacional en este 2025.

Another aspect that calls the attention of this franchise, will be its defense, Lindor is an excellent defender of shortstop, the same applies to Vientos at third, to finish putting together a good center line, it is expected that Alvarez catcher much better in his defense, he comes to this campaign with better conditions, definitely the Venezuelan will be key in what the Mets can do, he will be important both offensively and defensively of this team.
In conclusion, the Mets are candidates to be in the playoffs, the only doubt I have is in the solidity that their starters can have throughout such a long campaign, there are 162 games where they need to maintain the best possible level, it depends on the positions they occupy in July, surely they will bring a couple of pitchers via change, otherwise they are clear favorites to win the National League East divisional title in this 2025.
