With Alonzo back, the lineup now boasts a blend of power hitters and dependable performers that includes Francisco Lindor and Brandon Nimmo. The podcast hosts enthusiastically discuss how this depth transforms the Mets into a formidable offensive unit, making it one of the strongest lineups seen in recent history. They express confidence that the Mets could witness several players reach the 30 home runs mark this season, collectively boosting the team’s offensive productivity.
