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.

Though it’s not free, you can also watch SNY live with its new in-market streaming package offered through MLB.tv. For $24.99/month (or $124.99/year), subscribers in the NY area will be able to stream every Mets game that airs on SNY. For die-hard Mets fans, this may be well worth the investment.

With a chance to make a late splash in his New York Mets debut, Juan Soto came up empty. After signing the biggest contract in baseball history last offseason, the slugger came to bat with two runners aboard and the Mets down by two in the ninth inning Thursday.
