The Blue Jays of the Eastern Conference of the United Nations League and the Metropolitan Area of the National League East District were both strong contenders in the playoffs last year, but in the end, both both missed the playoffs . Last season, attacked strong and weak Blue Jays of the United Nations and attacked strong and weak Mets and attacked strong and weak Mets in the new year after the operation of this winter?
Last season's blue birds rumbling, the whole team actually had four players who scored 100+ RBIs in a single season , and The team's home runs and attack index also rank first in the major leagues . On the pitching end, Robbie Ray ranked first in the AFC in ERA and strikeouts, and won the Cy Young Award . However, in the fiercely competitive East District of the United Nations, although the Bluebirds scored 91 wins and 71 losses and the third-ranked net score in the United Nations League, was trapped by the unsuperior rescue pitcher combat power , they still missed the playoffs with a win gap.

In this winter, Bluebirds both offense and defense lost in the free market , Celebrity winner Lei turned to the Mariners, while Marcus Semien, a midfielder who hit 45 home runs last season, went away to the Rangers. However, you don’t have to worry about the prospects of the Bluebirds’ new season. The Bluebirds, who played strongly last season, have placed almost all their resources on the construction of the starting group this offseason.

In addition, Yimi Garcia, who joined with a two-year contract, will also become a beneficial supplement to the Bluebird Cowpen. In a matchup with Rocky in March, they exchanged for Raimel Tapia, who is known for their speed, with their outstanding long-distance outfielder Randal Grichuk. This transaction is expected to upgrade the defensive quality of the outfield for the Blue Birds and bring more dimensions of offensive means.

Key stars: (Small) Vladimir Guerrero Jr.), first baseman
Guerrero Jr. hit a MVP-level season in last season, and ranked first in the AFC in multiple offensive data, is undoubtedly the best hitter in . It’s a pity that Shohei Otani finally made Guerrero ranked second in the MVP vote with his comprehensive performance at both ends. In the new season, Guerrero, who is more diligent and self-disciplined, will lead the team to fight for the World Championship. If he can win an MVP trophy, it would be better.
dark horse candidate: Santiago Espinal, infielder
After Simien walked away from the Rangers, a vacuum appeared in the Bluebirds' second base defense zone, and most of the resources of are invested on the pitcher group , they may prefer to solve this problem by tapping potential internally. Espinal, who contributed a .376-point base rate last season, may be the final answer for the Bluebirds.
If you can get the chance to play the whole season as a main player for the first time, the 27-year-old midfielder may become the key adhesive for other heavy artillery in the tandem Blue Jays.
New recruits report: Gabriel Moreno, taking over
In the past two years, it can be said that it is the golden generation for rookies to take over. Countless super players are home base commanders on the court, and Moreno is one of the best. The 22-year-old has shown his skillful strike skills in the minor leagues. Last year, the terrifying measurements of
This season's Bluebirds is more balanced on the attack end and the pitcher end, and the offensive line has both speed and strength , and its strength is even better than last year. There is no doubt that the Bluebirds, who have made great strides to sign many generals this offseason, are not just the throne of the FC East. It is reasonable for them to compete for the team's first World Championship in the 21st century.
Last season's Mets once ranked first in the National League East District with their excellent pitching skills in the first half, and the situation of advancing to the playoffs was very good. Unfortunately, was injured as Jacob deGrom (Jacob deGrom) was repeatedly injured and was eventually reimbursed for regret in the season. The Metropolis also suffered a tragic collapse in the second half of . After All-Star Game , the Metropolis' record was only 29 wins and 45 losses, and also gave up the top spot in the NFC East. In the end, it ranked third in the NFC East with only 77 wins and 85 losses.

Compared with the Bluebird's balanced shot combat power operation thinking, Metropolitan is decides to maximize the pitcher's advantages. metropolis caught the biggest fish in the free market this offseason. Three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer (Max Scherzer) returns to his familiar NFC East with a three-year, average annual salary of 130 million yuan. In addition, they also exchanged the Athletics for the AFC winning rate king last season, Chris Bassitt, who won 12 wins and 4 losses, forming the fearsome starting group .

And on the offensive line, the Metropolis also made some achievements. Last season, the Mets contributed , the most 47 times in the major league, Starling Marte (Starling Marte) signed a four-year contract with the team , and His ability and speed to go up will also become a major offensive weapon for the Mets in the new season . Mark Canha and Eduardo Escobar, who each made a two-year short-term bid, can bring the team a defensive roster flexibility and a certain long-term playing ability.
Key star: Jacob deGrom, the starter pitcher
The Metropolis have the best starter in the major leagues, and , which has won two Cy Young Awards, deGrom, in the 15 starts last season, had an ERA of only 1.08. Whether it is , the speed ball quality , which is almost 100 miles per hour, or , the ball control , which is so wonderful that it is the best.However, Mets fans couldn't see the ace leading their starting rotation at the start of the season. Due to shoulder discomfort, DeGrom needed to rest for about four weeks before observing his situation.
dark horse candidate: Brandon Nimmo, outfield player
career base rate is as high as .393. Speaking of this, perhaps the names of several elite players have come to your mind, but in fact, the owner of this data is the outfield player Nemo of the Metropolis. Although this outfielder who just celebrated his 29th birthday is not good at long-driving ability, he is an excellent machine . In 92 games of the 2021 season with injuries, his base rate was as high as .401.
He is not a rotation player who can only face left or right shots. On the contrary, , whether facing left or right shots, his base rate last year was above .385 . If he can stay healthy, he will usher in his contract year. He is expected to win himself a major contract for many years through outstanding performance in the new season.
Recruitment report: Mark Vientos, third baseman
The previous New York Metropolitan who is the strong third baseman? David Wright is about to become a name that only the previous generation knows, and his last time he handed over the All-Star level was even more back to 2013 when he was injured. Now, Vientus has the opportunity to take over the title of his predecessor. Last year's Vientus can be said to have almost passed the minor league level by , sweeping 25 hits and .281/.352/.581 hits in 83 games at AA/AAAA levels. Now the only thing that prevents him from coming up is probably his defensive ability, but with the first base of Plum being firmly occupied by "Polar Bears" Pete Alonso, he needs to use his batting performance to prove that he deserves to play in the majors.
The main hidden dangers of the new season of the Metropolitan Mets, in addition to the physical condition of several important players, they also need to play in their attack line that matches their value. They are particularly eager for Francisco Lindor to bring out his skills to at least 30 home runs in a single season when he won MVP votes in Cleveland. As long as the Metropolis can successfully advance to the playoffs, they are definitely not the opponents that any other team wants to face, with two aces DeGrom and Shezel.
