Martinez, who previously played for the 2024 New York Mets, has returned as a special advisor to baseball operations and expressed confidence in the 2026 Mets, claiming they are “more talented” than the 2024 squad that reached the NLCS. Key players from the 2024 team have been replaced by stars like Juan Soto, Bo Bichette, and Freddy Peralta, enhancing the Mets’ potential.
