From the earliest days of spring training, the stories of the 2022 Yankees and 2022 Mets have been as intertwined in all sorts of ways. Prior to the season, they were as opposite as could be. The Mets had a very active winter, adding Max Scherzer, Starling Marte, Eduardo Escobar, Mark Canha, Chris Bassitt, and Adam Ottavino.

The Yankees kept Aaron Boone, a highly controversial decision, as many fans pined for the Yankees to rehire their old skipper.
