The Mets are bonding over the undeniably wholesome power of fresh baked goods
Spring training is a time for shenanigans and bonding as much as it is for rounding into form before the MLB season begins. In both cases, the New York Mets appear right on schedule.
The team with easily the most totems in baseball last year has already delivered yet another endearing moment for fans to latch onto in the form of fresh baked bread.
Seriously.
Check out this delightful scene that played out at the team's Port St. Lucie facilities on Friday when outfielder Tyrone Taylor returned to his locked to find a mystery loaf waiting for him.
The whole thing reads like fan-fiction come to life.
Tyrone Taylor found a mystery loaf of bread in his locker today. It looked delicious, but he had no idea where it came from.
Turns out, Ryne Stanek's wife, Jessica, likes to bake, so Ryne gives out bread to guys.
Pete Alonso got one. They embraced.
"I love you," Alonso said.— Tim Healey (@timbhealey) February 21, 2025
The Stanek's are out here nourishing the Mets' stomachs and souls. That's love on a whole different level.
A quick stroll through Jessica Stanek's Instagram page shows a seasoned baker who works with sourdough quite often. And, as everyone who has ever maintained a starter knows, you'll soon have more bread than you know what to do with.
Now the Stanek family's kitchen has the Mets' clubhouse smelling like a fresh bakery with players hurrying back to their stalls to see if there's a loaf (rather than a red tag).
Naturally, the Bread Mets have already become a thing. Anyone who worried about the clubhouse running out of gimmicks in 2025 now have no knead to worry.
The only thing left to do before Opening Day is re-sign Jose Iglesias to really lock in the vibes.
The lingering aroma of freshly baked pastries consumed the men in the clubhouse. For a moment they paused. No. They couldn’t possibly. But yes, they did. Gazing into each others eyes, they devoured the homemade loaf without reserve. From that moment on, they had a secret to keep.

The Bread Brothers or Bread Mets is one of the most fitting nicknames ever considering who owns the team.

First gimmick of the season just dropped. Catch me in 142 on opening day hoisting my Rally Mystery Bread of Friendship through the air when Juan Soto mashes a home run that goes directly through my skull https://t.co/UTUPmzAUMb
