The New York Mets announced their rotation of starters for the opening weekend of the Grapefruit League. Spring training games are about to start and we can’t hide our excitement about it!

Per Christina de Nicola of MLB.com, right-handers Rick Porcello and Marcus Stroman will start Saturday’s Grapefruit League-opening split-squad games vs. the Marlins and at the Cardinals, respectively. Left-hander Steven Matz will get the nod on Sunday.

The Mets rotation is among the strongest in the National League East. It has reigning two-time Cy Young award winner Jacob deGrom at the top, plus Noah Syndergaard, Stroman, Porcello, Matz, and Michael Wacha.
