Robert Stock got lit up on Saturday. He lasted just three innings and gave up eight earned runs on nine hits and five walks. It was a crash back to reality after a stellar first MLB start since 2022 for the 36-year-old, jumping his small-sample-size ERA from 1.80 to 10.13. No, he’s not a 10.13 ERA pitcher. There are things to like. He throws pretty hard, has a strong arsenal that goes five...
Because of the Mets’ luxury tax standing, if they end up with a first-round pick lower than sixth overall, that pick is moved 10 spots back. That means they cannot have any pick between seven and 16. In this year’s draft, that would have been a difference of $2,938,166 going from $5,809,575 at pick six to $3,411,409 at pick seventeen. Top six picks are protected, so if the Mets have a top...
The New York Mets won for the sixth time in the seven games since the trade deadline Monday night. They took down their division rival, Atlanta Braves, in their series opener, 8-5. The win continued a surprising run from a stingy Mets bullpen. The group includes only one holdover from before the deadline selloff, and they shutout the division-leading Braves over the final four frames while...
What a week that turned out to be for the New York Mets. Coming off the Trade Deadline, the new-look Mets hit the road and are currently an impressive 5-1 before opening up a series in Atlanta on Monday. After sweeping the Guardians, the Mets went into Pittsburgh and continued to be a lot of fun to watch on the way to taking two out of three from the Pirates. While wins and losses hold little...
The Mets’ 2023 draft was overall successful with some big-impact names coming out of it. Nolan McLean, taken in the third round, may be the most impactful player taken. The Mets drafted him as a two-way player with an eye for what he could do on the pitching side. Within a year, he stopped hitting, and a year later he went through a massive overhaul in Triple-A in the summer of 2025,...
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...
