Nate Lavender didn’t enter the Mets’ organization with a ton of fanfare. He was drafted out of the University of Illinois in the 14th round of the 2021 MLB Draft and didn’t possess eye-popping velocity like some of his peers. Over the next two years, Lavender soared through the Mets’ farm system, working exclusively as a reliever and racking up huge strikeout numbers....

Rojas, while a member of the Chicago Cubs’ system, was unranked at...

The young outfielder snapped out of that little slump, though, going 2-for-4 and hitting a home run, furthering his candidacy for National League Rookie of the Year. Benge’s day...

Good morning, Mets fans! The Mets placed first base prospect Ryan Clifford on the development list following his immense struggles at the plate. Clifford was one of the pieces in the trade that sent Justin Verlander back to the Astros in 2023 and he offered a ton of promise in 2024 and 2025. This season has been a different story, however, as he has just a .611 OPS in Triple-A, including a .288...
Carson Benge can do it all. Two days after he threw out back-to-back runners at the plate, he helped the Mets to a game and series win Wednesday with his bat, lofting an opposite-field, two-run homer to break a scoreless tie in the fourth inning in the Mets’ 4-2 victory over the Padres. The Mets (58-70) completed a 5-1 homestand and are 11-4 since the trade deadline. New York is 10 games...
Steve Cohen isn’t one to sugarcoat how the Mets’ season has gone. At the same time, Cohen expressed optimism going forward as he spoke to reporters at Citi Field on Wednesday. “We might have taken too much risk, when you think about all the changes that were made,” Cohen said. “Whenever there are significant changes, sometimes it takes a while to integrate.”...

Polanco has played in 37 games and has not looked right or healthy for any of them slashing .148/.201/.230/.431. Manager Andy Green said Polanco is leaning towards surgery on his ankle. In the meantime, the Mets have called Eric Wagaman back up to replace Polanco. Wagaman has looked great in Syracuse...
Tuesday night, the Mets got “Tatis’d”. The Mets lost game two of a three-game set with the Padres by a final score of 5-2. Fernando Tatis Jr. hit two home runs off of Zac Thornton, drove in a trio of runs, and robbed a potential game winning grand slam off the bat of Francisco Lindor. Unfortunately, games like that happen over the course of a 162-game season. Elite players have...
