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....

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...

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...
