Morning Briefing: Mets Reportedly Have About $10 Million Left to Spend

Good morning, Mets fans!  Steve Cohen may not be done yet. During a broadcast of Mets Hot Stove on SNY, Andy Martino said the Mets have about $10 million left to spend.  “What the priority is within that is the relief pitching, they will bolster the bullpen before spring training or early on in spring training, while the offseason business is still going on,” Martino said.  Making additions to...

OTD in 2008: Carlos Delgado Drives In Nine As Mets Beat Yankees

  On June 27, 2008, the Mets and Yankees played a split-stadium doubleheader, necessitated by a rainout earlier in the season (May 16) in the Bronx. Game one was the makeup of the rainout, and took place at Yankee Stadium. In that game, Mets’ first baseman Carlos Delgado had a day for the history books. Delgado set the Mets’ team record for RBIs in a game with nine, in support...

Amazin’ Memories: Mets Blank Phillies in Series of Shutouts

There are times when it’s tough to be a Mets fan. Perhaps you remember when the Mets held a commanding seven-game lead with 17 games to play in 2007, and then collapsed to their rival from down the Turnpike. Or perhaps you recall 2008, when the Amazin’s held a 3.5 game lead in September with only 17 games to play, before becoming the first team ever to blow a 3.5-game lead in...

A History of Mets No. 1 Overall Prospects

Amed Rosario is the Mets’ best prospect, according to Baseball America. He even graced the magazine’s cover recently, so there is little doubt that he will be the most watched minor leaguer in Port St. Lucie this spring. Well, aside from Tim Tebow. But if history is any indicator, that might not be a good thing for Rosario or the Mets. Baseball America has long kept a list of the top...

Michael Fulmer Making Most Of Opportunity

Mets Bring Back Jeremy Hefner

The Mets have re-signed starting pitcher Jeremy Hefner, reports Anthony DiComo. The deal is for a minor-league contract and will allow the Mets to retain control of Hefner at a reduced salary while he rehabs from Tommy John surgery.

Is It Time For A Mike Pelfrey Encore?

Should GM Sandy Alderson decided there’s not much in the free-agent market, and with the Twins moving faster than the Mets regarding Bronson Arroyo, there are probably worse ideas than re-signing Pelfrey. Pelfrey, released by the Twins, made $4 million last year, so whatever the price it...
