With José Quintana down and likely to miss some time with a rib injury, it is likely that David Peterson or Tylor Megill will get the call to replace him in the Mets rotation to start the season. Peterson took a comebacker hit off the foot on Saturday, but avoided any major damage and is progressing toward a return to the mound soon.

Despite the bitter end to the season, 2022 was still a special year for the Mets. The team won 101 games and made the postseason for the first time since 2016.

After a lockout that lasted more than three months, a delayed spring training and a delayed start of the regular season, baseball is finally here.
