The New York Mets have officially announced their 26-man roster for the upcoming Wild Card round, as they prepare to take on the NL Central champion Milwaukee Brewers in a best-of-three series. The roster includes a mix of familiar faces and a few surprises, but overall, the Mets are sticking with their core group of players.
The team will carry 13 position players and 13 pitchers, ensuring depth both offensively and in the bullpen. Among the outfielders, J.D. Martinez will serve as the designated hitter, while Jesse Winker, despite recent back issues, has made the roster. A notable addition is Luisangel Acuña, who earned a spot after making his MLB debut late in the regular season.
On the pitching side, Max Kranick is perhaps the most unexpected name. Kranick, who hasn’t appeared in the majors since 2022 with the Pittsburgh Pirates, put up solid numbers in Triple-A this season and will be part of the bullpen. Tylor Megill, on the other hand, was left off the roster after starting in the playoff-clinching game, while Huascar Brazobán, Adam Ottavino, and Danny Young all made the cut.
