Spring Training Daily: 02.12.2025

Mendoza meets the media, Mets re-sign Drew Smith, Senga feelin' fine, Vientos on Soto and lingering questions into Spring Training 2025

On 2025 expectations:

“Everything that is said outside of this locker room, it does not matter … We know we’ve got a good team, but there’s a long way to go. We gotta be healthy, we gotta stay healthy, we gotta play well. There’s a lot of good teams … but we like our team. We brought a lot of guys back – we’re keeping a lot of the guys that were the core of this group from last year – so it’s exciting. As far as managing expectations, you have to embrace those expectations, you know? What’s the alternative?”
