The 2025 New York Mets season ended in disappointment despite a promising start and strong individual performances from several core players. New York finished 83-79, placing second in the NL East, but ultimately missed the MLB postseason after a late-season collapse.
The Mets opened the year with the best record in baseball at 45-24 in mid-June, only to stumble down the stretch, going 38-55 over their final 93 games. With the result, New York lost its playoff spot to the Cincinnati Reds on a tiebreaker.
Despite the team’s struggles, Francisco Lindor delivered one of the strongest seasons of his 11-year career.
Appearing in 160 games, Lindor slashed .267/.346/.466 with 31 home runs, 86 RBIs, and 31 stolen bases, earning his first All-Star selection as a Met. He scored 117 runs, posted an OPS+ of 129, and joined the 30-30 club for the second time in his career.
After the season concluded, Lindor made a notable personal decision that underscored his long-term commitment to New York City.
The Mets star purchased a $21.2 million penthouse in Manhattan’s Upper East Side, a 5,300-square-foot residence featuring six bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms, skyline views, and premium amenities.
Lindor is under contract through 2031 after signing a 10-year, $341 million extension in 2021 (Spotrac), the largest contract in franchise history at the time and one of the most significant deals ever for a shortstop. Since arriving in New York as part of a blockbuster trade from the Cleveland Guardians in 2021, Lindor has been one of baseball’s most reliable performers.
During the 2025 season, Lindor also reached several milestones, including his 1,500th career hit and his first walk-off home run as a Met.
As the Mets look ahead to 2026, they do so amid roster turnover following a busy offseason that has already included trading two-time All-Star Jeff McNeil, franchise career home run leader Pete Alonso and closer Edwin Diaz.
