On a wet day in Philadelphia, the New York Mets played another game that resembled the day itself against the Philadelphia Phillies. An error-driven game, with three errors on the day, and it was marred by mistakes and more Phillies home runs, as the Mets dropped game two of this weekend series 6-1. Sean Manaea wasn’t great by any means on Saturday, but his defense didn’t help him...

Basketball has triple-doubles. You could call what Mitch Voit did Friday night a double-triple. The 21-year-old shortstop connected for three hits and stole three bases in High-A Brooklyn’s 4-0 victory over Hudson Valley. Voit is slashing .248/.358/.414 with 11 homers and leads the team in stolen bases with 34, which is tied for second in the South Atlantic League. The 2025 first-round...
Good morning, Mets fans! Per Chelsea Janes of SNY, the Mets and Clay Holmes are expecting to begin extension talks in the coming days. Holmes has been out due to injury since mid-May, but he was spectacular early on in the season. Through nine starts, he has a 2.39 ERA after having a 3.53 ERA a year ago. There’s a possibility Holmes gets traded, but he’s clearly seen as part of the...
Amidst both trade and extension rumors, Clay Holmes is taking another massive step towards a return from a fractured right fibula that he suffered on a line drive off the bat of New York Yankees outfielder Spencer Jones on May 15. The High-A Brooklyn Cyclones announced that Holmes is set to begin his rehab assignment with a start on Saturday night against Hudson Valley at Maimonides Park. The...
As he was recovering from Tommy John surgery all of last year, Christian Scott became somewhat of a forgotten man amidst the surge of young pitching talent in the New York Mets’ farm system with the likes of Nolan McLean, Brandon Sproat and Jonah Tong, among others. A former top prospect who debuted in May 2024 and logged a 4.56 ERA over nine starts totaling 47 1/3 innings that year before...
Ron Hunt, a Met infielder from 1963-1966, the first player in team history to start an All-Star Game and the runner-up for the 1963 N.L. Rookie of the Year, has died in his hometown of St. Louis, the team announced Friday on X. He was 85. The team said he had been in hospice care battling several illnesses for the last month. Hunt played the first four of his 12 MLB seasons with the Mets. He hit...
Francisco Alvarez entered Thursday night with questions surrounding his future. He left it having provided a timely reminder of why the Mets should be careful about giving up on him. Batting ninth amidst trade speculation, Alvarez homered twice and helped guide the Mets’ pitching staff through a dominant performance in a 4-1 victory over the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. The win moved the Mets...
Good morning, Mets fans! The Mets received a scare during the Mets’ first game back from the All-Star break, when Juan Soto exited the game in the eighth inning with left calf soreness. Fortunately, it does not appear to be a serious injury. According to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, the soreness is not in the same calf Soto strained earlier this season, and the Mets do not expect him to miss...
The Mets have the best record in baseball since the All-Star break. Sure, they are one of only two teams to have played, but after a miserable first half, it’s a start. Francisco Alvarez homered twice, and Christian Scott delivered 5 2/3 shutout innings to help New York beat the Phillies 4-1. The game was pushed an hour earlier due to the poor air quality caused by the Canada wildfires. Scott...
