Pitcher Tobias Myers will be on the New York Mets' Opening Day roster for the 2026 MLB season, according to the team. The 27-year-old right-hander was acquired in a trade with the Milwaukee Brewers and will have an opportunity to contribute to the Mets' pitching staff, though his exact role is still being determined.

Why it matters

The Mets have a deep and talented pitching rotation, so Myers will need to earn his spot on the team. His inclusion on the Opening Day roster suggests the Mets see value in him and want to give him a chance to prove himself at the MLB level.

The details

Myers came to the Mets in a trade with the Brewers that sent top prospects Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat the other way. While Freddy Peralta was the bigger name in the deal, the Mets believe Myers can be a valuable contributor. In his two MLB seasons so far, Myers has gone 10-8 with a 3.15 ERA and 3.92 FIP over 188.2 innings, making most of his starts in 2024.
