Good morning, Mets fans!

The 2025 Hall of Fame voting results will be revealed today at 6 p.m. As of Monday night, 188 votes have been publicized, which is about 48% of the expected total.

Ichiro Suzuki has been checked off on every ballot, while CC Sabathia looks to be a lock, sitting at 93.6%. Two former Mets – Billy Wagner (84.6%) and Carlos Beltrán (80.3%) – are also above the 75% threshold needed for enshrinement. Wagner is in his last year on the ballot and fell five votes shy of Cooperstown in 2024, but he’s already gained nine votes from returning voters this year. Beltrán is in his third year after receiving 57.1% of the vote a year ago, and he’s gained 21 votes this cycle. David Wright has already secured enough votes to remain on the ballot for another year.
