Well ladies and trolls, it’s that time again! It’s July 30th and that means all those last minute wheelings and dealings will get done, maybe with the exception of our New York Mets. Anyway, here’s the latest on your Amazin’s as the deadline approaches: Quite A Bit Of Last-Minute Interest In Scott Hairston: Team such as the Tigers, Giants, Braves and Rangers have been linked to Scott Hairston, but as Ken Rosenthal tweets, the Mets [...]

What ever happened to Jason Bay?  We have seen flashes of his old self over the past three years, but this is looking more and more like one of the worst signings in New York Mets history.  The Mets are basically starting every game with 24 outs when he’s in the lineup, and when you factor in the pitcher, it’s more like 21. I know a lot of Mets fans questions why they keep marching [...]

Dickey came back strong as the Mets were able to split the four game set with Arizona by a final score of 5-1. Recap: Closing out this four-game set, the Mets looked to their ace, R.A. Dickey, to even up the four game set and get this tanking Mets team turned around. The offense got Dickey an early cushion as they did for Matt Harvey in his debut Thursday, scoring a pair on back to [...]

The Mets have announced that they will activate Mike Baxter from the disabled list tomorrow and option Kirk Nieuwenhuis to Triple-A Buffalo to make room for him. This is the right move for the team as K-New has been completely overmatched at the plate after getting off to a hot start when the Mets called him up in April to replace an injured Adnres Torres. Kirk was hitting .252 with seven homers and 28 RBIs in 282 at-bats, but had a team-high 98 [...]

On Saturday night, Ike Davis equaled a franchise record and became the ninth player in team history to hit three home runs in a game. The feat was last accomplished by Carlos Beltran on May 12, 2011 at Colorado. The Arizona native, has four home runs in his last two games and will attempt to tie the club record for home runs in three straight games set by Frank Thomas who hit six in that span between August 1-3 [...]

The Mets are moving Jenrry Mejia back to the starting rotation said Mets VP of Player Development Paul DePodesta according to comments he made to Adam Rubin of ESPN New York, Sure enough, today’s media notes from the Buffalo Bisons reported that Mejia will get the start on Monday against the Indianapolis Indians at 7:05 PM. DePodesta explained that Mejia changed his style of pitching once he moved from the rotation to the bullpen and not in a good way. [...]

Joel Sherman of the New York Post says that the Mets remain confident they can retain David Wright beyond 2013. Where have we heard that before? Sherman cites a a more secure financial outlook as why he sees the Mets offering Wright an extension  that will keep their all star third baseman from bolting for free agency. That’s great and all, but he kind of deflates his own argument when he writes this: Wright’s return to elite status this year [...]

Indianapolis 6, Buffalo 0 By Connor O’Brien Last night in Indianapolis, the Bisons were defeated once again by a score of 6-0. Jeurys Familia, coming off a stretch of great starts, got the start for Buffalo. In his previous start, he gave up seven runs against Charlotte and failed to make it out of the fifth inning. He struggled with his command and was pounded. Simply put, he continued that last night. Familia got hit [...]

Frank Francisco has suffered another setback in his rehab from his strained oblique, Terry Collins told reporters after last night’s 6-3 loss to the Diamondbacks, Lynn Worthy of the Binghamton Press & Sun-Bulletin reported that the Mets closer had “soreness on his left side.” Francisco was supposed to pitch in his third rehab game for the B-Mets before getting an appearance with Triple-A Buffalo followed by a potential return to the Mets on Monday or Tuesday. Those plans appear [...]
