Francisco Alvarez recently claimed that the New York Mets have the best lineup in 2025. The Mets have acquired some top talent this offseason, including signing one of the biggest deals in sports history. They have bolstered their starting rotation and made a few adjustments to their pitching lineup.
After their disappointing playoff exit against the Dodgers, the Mets have come in stronger. But are they really the best lineup in baseball? According to Alvarez, they are. The Mets slugger is confident in the team and its approach for the 2025 season.
“I think we are the best lineup in baseball,” Alvarez said. While the catcher sees his team as the best, MLB fans think he’s wrong. Fans took to social media to troll Francisco Alvarez for his bold claim.
Is there a better lineup in baseball than the Mets?
