Stolen bases and clutch defensive plays sprinkled throughout may have just been the difference in the Mets winning Friday’s game over the Pirates. The Mets, now 4-0 since the trade deadline, have been playing loose since selling some of their major pieces. They came out running on Friday. They took advantage of a rattled starter in Carmen Mlodzinski, who struggled mightily after a...
Well, maybe the 2026 New York Mets can still surprise us in good ways after all. In somewhat of a surprising development, the new-look Mets went into Cleveland and swept the playoff-chasing Guardians. Not only that, but the post-Trade Deadline version of this team was incredibly fun to watch. Granted, this is still a lost season given the wins and losses don’t really matter at this point....
The Trade Deadline has now passed, and the 2026 New York Mets look markedly different. In sending a total of eight players out the door, the Mets largely achieved what they set out to do by committing to a sell-off. They welcomed 13 new players to the organization, including the team’s new No. 1 prospect. And by stocking up on prospect capital, the Mets now have extra pieces to play with...
We shared with you what our perfect Mets trade deadline would look like. We knew moves had to be done and changes had to have been made. So, did it shape up how we wanted it to? Here are the grades our team would give Stearns and company. Johnluke Chaparro I had to actually sit and process this a little bit, mainly due to hoping that they could have gotten more for certain players. Maybe I might...
Last week, the Mets had a mediocre week, which is progress for these 2026 Mets. The Mets went 3-4 for the week. Impressively, they won the series against the Atlanta Braves before dropping three of four to the Marlins. Then, the trade deadline came, and the Mets officially waved the white flag. Still, there are mainstays who put together solid performances last week. Offensive Player of the...
The trade deadline is over, and the Mets traded away nine players and added 13 new players. (This includes David Peterson.) When looking at who was added, it is important to remember that the prospect lists will update in the coming weeks and are still displaying old information. The Mets clearly chased upside as well as player types they have a track record of optimizing. They filled...
The Mets have many relievers to move this deadline, and late at night on July 30, they traded the first of them by sending A.J. Minter to the Minnesota Twins for Bruin Agbayani and Billy Amick. Bruin’s last name should be familiar because his father, Benny Agbayani,was a fan-favorite Met from 1998-2001, slashing .282/.372/.461/.833 with 35 home runs in 322 games. He will be forever...
With the Trade Deadline fast approaching, the New York Mets were able to take a series from the Atlanta Braves. The expected selloff should start happening any day now, which means we may have seen this current incarnation of the 2026 Mets for the last time. If that’s the case, then they went out on a high. Stellar pitching and some clutch hitting saw the Mets take two out of three from...
Francisco Lindor has been on an offensive tear lately. His last 15 games he is slashing .291/.371/.600/.971 and since coming off the injured list has raised his OPS from .669 to .743. He is now an above average hitter on the season with a 108 WRC+. As we approach the trade deadline, there are always arguments for and against trading any player, and Lindor is making the case for the Mets to keep...
The New York Mets managed to salvage something from their series against the Dodgers. After dropping the first two games at Citi Field, the Mets used some clutch hitting and big hits to take the series finale and avoid the season sweep. As a result, the Mets snapped a three-game losing streak. However, they are still 18 games below .500 with a 44-62 record. With that, let’s recap...
The 2026 MLB Draft is complete, and likely the Mets’ chances of going to the postseason too. However, 2026 hasn’t all been bad. One of the most exciting storylines has been the emergence of players like Carson Benge, AJ Ewing and Zac Thornton. The Mets find themselves looking to get younger. They now have a whole new crop of players entering the farm system. Let’s take a look...
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...
