Last November, the Mets traded Brandon Nimmo to the Texas Rangers for Marcus Semien. When you frame the trade like that it is easy to look at Semien’s .624 OPS and Nimmo’s .731 OPS and think it is a trade the Mets should regret, but it was never truly a one-for-one trade in that sense. Semien was never acquired with the expectation that he would replicate Nimmo’s offense. He was the best return...
We all thought that we’d see a long process of the Mets searching for a manager. But much to our surprise, that’s not the case. By now you’ve heard the news that Andy Green will be taking over as the full-time manager, signing a three-year extension. This wasn’t expected, as when he took over the interim role, he did so expecting to return to the front office after the...
The Mets welcome change. Especially to hitting mechanics. The evidence is scattered throughout their farm system. Across the organization, swing tweaks pop up seemingly weekly, tinkering is encouraged, and bat path adjustments are as common as a Jefry Yan strikeout celly. It’s all part of the process to develop the Mets’ next crop of young offensive stars, one of whom is already...
The New York Mets signed off at Citi Field for 2026 in typically frustrating fashion. In what was the final home series of the year, the Mets split with the Phillies, with both teams winning two games apiece. Some inconsistent pitching didn’t help. As a result, the Mets finished the 2026 season 36-45 at home, which sums up just how disappointing this season has been. The team also bid an...

As a result, they have now lost four straight. It was a weird week with fans making their love for Alonso and their unhappiness at the front office both perfectly known. However, the bottom line is that the...
Obscured by the the ongoing circus that is Pete Alonso’s return to Flushing, Nate Lavender put together another flawless appearance striking four of the five batters he faced. While there are many things the front office got wrong this season, one they nailed was the bullpen. Even after trading everyone not named Devin Williams at the deadline, the Mets have continued to get quality from a...
It was mostly a weekend to forget for the New York Mets in the Bronx.

He currently is listed as a third baseman, but in the majors...
The New York Mets were swinging a hot bat throughout their series win against the Miami Marlins. On the way to sweeping the Marlins on the road, the Mets scored a combined 31 runs. However, on the flip side, they also gave up a combined 23 runs in a series heavy on offense. The offense saved the day on Wednesday when bad pitching led to a huge blown lead, and nearly another late in the game. As...

Minter, Amick’s had a loud start to his Mets career. He hit seven homers in 12 games for Double-A Binghamton before his promotion, and has hit five homers in 12 games for Triple-A Syracuse since. But Amick also strikes out a...

Bichette’s clutch hit also sealed the series win. The three-game set against San Francisco featured many positives and some negatives for the Mets, who are now 65-78 on the year. With that, let’s recap everything from the...
