Luis Robert Jr. may have a worthy trade pitch. While the Mets’ dreams of a full, healthy season for Robert died in April, the 28-year-old Robert is showing he still has some thump in his bat. Robert slugged a solo homer off of the Dodgers’ Roki Sasaki on Friday, his second bomb in four games since returning from an extended stint on the injured list. Robert’s contract runs through 2026 with a...

The New York Mets ultimately beat themselves in Milwaukee. Losing two out of three to the Brewers, the Mets only had themselves to blame for dropping the series. Sloppy defense, bad pitching, and a lack of clutch hitting ultimately doomed them in two of the three games. Fine margins are often the difference between winning and losing baseball games. And this team just isn’t doing the small...
Luke Weaver, RHP Position: Relief Pitcher Age: 32 (8/21/93) 2026 Stats: 2-1, 1.98 ERA, 0.80 WHIP, 41 IP, 43 SO, 11 BB, 3 HR, SV, 2 BSV, 39 G 2026 Advanced Stats: 1.1 fWAR, 2.80 xERA, 212 ERA+, 2.84 FIP, 3.51 xFIP, 27.4 K%, 7.0 BB%, .152 BAA, .192 BABIP Rundown Weaver hasn’t allowed an earned run since April 30, a span of 29 innings. He would be a good addition to any team looking for...
Different Monday, same result. The professional baseball team from Flushing, Queens, lost to the Milwaukee Brewers, 8-3. It was a quiet night offensively even though the lineup returned to full strength following the return of Cuban centerfielder, Luis Robert Jr.. The biggest concern was another dud from the supposed front-line starter the Mets acquired from these same Brewers in January. Freddy...
Previously, MMO broke down the different strategies the Mets could utilize in the draft as they got creative with their limited signing bonus pool. They could have gone heavy into prep players as the Braves did; they could have gone under slot early and signed a single player to a higher slot like the Red Sox did with Martin Shelar; and they could have focused on floating down pitchers who...
The Mets’ 2026 season had an inauspicious start. On February 10, David Stearns gave his first press conference of the young season, a campaign still full of hope and naive optimism. At the start, Stearns seemed terse and hesitant in front of the media scrum. By setting the tone with a grim “so, a couple pieces of news,” it was clear something was amiss. The unwelcome surprise...
It was a winning start for the New York Mets post-All-Star break. In Philadelphia for a three-game series, the Mets took two out of three from the Phillies. As has been the case throughout this season, it wasn’t always perfect or pretty. However, while series wins don’t matter all that much now, it was nice to see some things click, especially in a dominant performance on Sunday to...
Unfortunately, the Mets look like they will be sellers this deadline and it is expected at least all of their rentals will be moved. Brooks Raley, as a left-handed leverage reliever, may be one of their most valuable assets. Brooks Raley Position: Reliever Bats/Throws: L/L Age: 38 (June 29, 1988) 2026 Traditional Stats: 40 G, 35.2 IP, 2.02 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, 0 S, 27 H, 37 SO, 14 BB 2026 Advanced...

Here we are, halfway through the season. A time to reflect on all that has happened in the first half of the season. This season – once again – has not started the way we wanted, or expected, it to. If you don’t want to think back on the past few months, don’t worry, we here at MMO will do it for you. Here’s what we think are the biggest first half surprises and...
Things have not gone well for the Mets, that is not a secret. They are 40-57 and in second-to-last place in the National League. But that does not mean everything this year has gone wrong. In a season where it is very easy to focus on the negative – and trust me, we have done that plenty – let’s take a look at some of the positives. The Young Core is Forming Since Steve Cohen...
