The most hotly anticipated Opening Day in recent New York Mets history has finally arrived, a day that fans have had circled on their calendars ever since outfielder Juan Soto made the shocking decision to spurn the New York Yankees to head to Queens.

Soto, 26, who signed a record-breaking 15-year, $756 million contract in December, and Holmes, 32, played for the New York Yankees in 2024. The Mets signed them in an attempt to bolster their roster after falling to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series last year.
