Francisco Lindor arrived in Port St. Lucie on Friday with his trademark energy, and the message to New York Mets fans was clear: expectations are high, and confidence is flowing as Spring Training gets underway.

With the Mets coming off an eventful offseason, Lindor wasted little time setting the tone. In a video shared by the team’s official X account, the All-Star shortstop expressed excitement about the upcoming season, emphasizing the roster improvements and the belief inside the clubhouse.

The optimism comes as the Mets integrate several new faces, including Freddy Peralta, who headlines a revamped pitching staff. Early workouts have already generated buzz, with newly acquired right-hander Tobias Myers praising Peralta’s leadership, mentorship, and even his cooking during bullpen sessions.
