Parada Highlights Nine Mets In 2023 Arizona Fall League

The Mets sent nine players to the Arizona Fall League, including four position players and five pitchers. While just one of these prospects is in the organization’s top 30 prospects, each has enough talent for intrigue.

Mickey Jannis: A Knuckleballer’s Journey, Part 4

This off-season, which already is nearly over, started like every other: scrambling for a job to bring in some money; savoring every minute with my wife, Emily, and family, and not letting up on my training. I’m still throwing my knuckleball every chance I get, even against my best friend, that brick wall. I’m not haunted by the uncertainty I’ve felt in some previous off-seasons, wondering where...

Mets fans have been living with Rafael Montero for what feels like forever now. He signed with the Mets in January of 2011 when he was twenty years old, which was old for a non-Cuban Latin American player, but he had started playing baseball late. For only an $80,000 advance it was a low risk move by the Mets.
