The 2016 New York Mets season is the franchise's 55th season. The Mets opened the season against their 2015 World Series opponent, the Kansas City Royals.^[1] This is the first time in the history of the league that World Series opponents played a rematch on Opening Day. This was made possible by interleague play being scattered throughout the season. The Mets and Royals split the 2-game series, 1-1.

February

On February 2, 2016, Darrell Ceciliani was traded to the Toronto Blue Jays for cash considerations.^[21] On February 8, 2016, Roger Bernadina signed with the Mets on a minor-league contract.^[22] On February 12, Jenrry Mejía was permanently banned from the MLB after his third performance-enhancing drugs (PED) violation.^[23] He became the first player to be banned for life due to PED use, and one of only two living people to be permanently banned, the other being Pete Rose.^[24] Mejía is allowed to apply for reinstatement after one year. However, he must sit out a minimum of two years, meaning that he will not be eligible to pitch again until 2018 at the earliest.^[25]
