Veteran Reliever Luis García Poised for Mets Opening Day Roster

The Mets are expected to include 39-year-old reliever Luis García on their Opening Day roster after signing him to a one-year deal in January. Coming off a 2025 season with the Angels where he posted a 3.42 ERA and 3.28 FIP, García remains a reliable ground-ball inducer. Despite a high walk rate last year, he limited home runs effectively. With no minor league options remaining, the Mets must expose him to waivers if they decide to cut him, though he is likely to stick if he starts strong.
