At first glance, this version of Luis Severino didn’t look much different from last year’s version. As he gave up the most hits (11) that any Mets pitcher has ever given up in a debut, you could hear the “I told you so” grumbles from those who thought the veteran right-hander was finished. Regardless of what you think about the Mets investing in their minor-league...

Welcome to the first 3 Up, 3 Down of the 2024 regular season! I wish I were starting things off on a far more positive note as far as the New York Mets are concerned. Instead, I don’t think even the most negative of fans/pundits could have predicted just how much of a stinking dumpster fire the opening weekend of the 2024 season would be for the Mets. It was bad. Period. There were very...
Good morning, Mets fans! The Mets’ offense fell flat and couldn’t erase an early deficit as they suffered a season-opening sweep at the hands of the Brewers in a 4-1 final. Tylor Megill held the Brewers to two runs (one earned) and three hits while walking three and striking out four over four innings. Francisco Alvarez and Pete Alonso both collected two hits, but the team left eight...
Starling Marte was the only player to produce anything offensively on Friday in the Mets’ 3-1 home opening loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. He hit a second-inning solo home run that represented the Mets’ only hit of the afternoon as they were one-hit for the first time in franchise history in their home opener. Marte was on and off the injured list several times between July and October during the...
Good morning, Mets fans! Luis Severino is set to make his Mets debut on Saturday, going up against DL Hall and the Brewers. The former Yankee is a two-time All-Star who was once one of the game’s most dominant starters, but he had a historically bad season in 2023 with a 6.65 ERA. Coming off a really solid spring training, he’ll now make his first official start for the Mets in what...

When David Stearns joined the New York Mets earlier this offseason, he surely knew that depth was a huge must for the organization. It has been a focus thus far, and Stearns continued that trend on Wednesday night when he made a trade with his former club, the Milwaukee Brewers. Stearns sent pitching prospect Coleman Crow to the Brewers for right-handed pitcher Adrian Houser and outfielder...
The Brewers don’t need David Stearns to generate big news. Milwaukee is reportedly nearing a new contract with top prospect Jackson Chourio. The deal, expected to be for eight years and $80 million (guaranteed) with two team options, is the largest ever for a player yet to ascend to the major leagues. The previous record was the $50 million the Chicago White Sox signed Luis Robert to in...
Trade winds are blowing across the league following the conclusion of the general managers meetings this week, kicking the hot stove into full gear. With the perceived leaguewide notion that this free agent class isn’t brimming with substance, especially regarding position players, the expectation is that the trade market will see an uptick in action this offseason as teams scramble to...
Good morning, Mets fans! According to the Journal Sentinel, should the Milwaukee Brewers decide to equal the highest offer for manager Craig Counsell receives in free agency, it is highly probable that they will keep him as their manager. However, if they opt not to match the offer, which is expected to come from the New York Mets, Counsell will most likely manage a different team in 2024. The...
