New York Mets pitchers
Max Kranick and
Huascar Brazoban and catcher
Hayden Senger have made the team's Opening Day roster, according to the New York Daily News' Abbey Mastracco. Kranick, a 27-year-old former 11th-round pick by the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2016, earned a spot in the bullpen by giving up only two earned runs while walking one and striking out 15 in 12 1/3 innings over eight Grapefruit League appearances (one start). When he appears in a game for the Mets in the regular season, it will be his first major-league action since 2022 with the Pirates. In 11 outings (nine starts) for the Bucs in 2021-22, Kranick had a 5.56 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 36:220 K:BB in 43 2/3 innings pitched. If he continues to be dominant like he was in spring training, he could get some looks in a high-leverage setup role for the Mets in 2025. Senger, 27, will serve as the backup to
