Nolan McLean may be finding his form again. His struggles in May seemed like a shock to the system, both to himself and to fans, who had become accustomed to his instant dominance at the major league level. But, after his ERA rose to the mid-4.00s at one point, he has it back down to 3.52 after another good start on Friday. It was a sluggish game for the Mets — a 6-2 loss to the Red Sox — and...
We saw some progress with the New York Mets this week. Namely, we saw a lot of improvement from the offense. To be more precise, the Mets got consistent production from the lineup throughout the entire three-game series. And we haven’t been able to say that all too often this year. Were it not for a bullpen implosion, then the Mets might have secured a first series sweep since the end of...
We finally saw some heart and pulse with this New York Mets team in Atlanta. After dropping the first two games of the series, the Mets rallied to win the final two to split the series with the Braves. Yes, it wasn’t exactly pretty. And, yes, it could have easily been a series sweep. However, you have to celebrate the small victories too. In winning the final two games of the series, the...
Another month, another round of subpar performances from the New York Mets. With July here and the All-Star break just around the corner, the Mets are now in decision mode. They finished June with a 10-17 record. This still puts them at the bottom of the barrel in the NL East. To cap things off, the team parted ways with manager Carlos Mendoza amidst their ongoing struggles. Unfortunately for...
The New York Mets just couldn’t get anything going offensively in Toronto. The Mets dropped two out of three to the Blue Jays, losing a fifth straight series as a result. They’ve also lost 10 of their last 12 games. Without doubt, the driving force behind the woes in Toronto was a real lack of offense. The lineup was lifeless for most of the series. Yet another clunker from Freddy...
The New York Mets dropped their series opener to the Toronto Blue Jays Monday night, 2-1. It was their second loss in a row and ninth in their last 10 games. It was another night where the pitching did its part, but the offense couldn’t do theirs. The Mets managed five hits on the evening, only one of which came from the bottom four spots in the order on a Francisco Alvarez double in the...
There is no magic cure-all for the 2026 New York Mets. Even after firing manager Carlos Mendoza on Friday, the Mets couldn’t rally under a new voice. Interim manager Andy Green lost two of his first three games in charge in a series loss to the Phillies. While there were some positives on display, we also saw more of the same old problems that have helped to create the current mess the...
I firmly believe in the notion that two things can be right at the same time. And I think that applies to the current situation with the New York Mets right now. Therefore, while it was probably the right decision to fire manager Carlos Mendoza, it is also right that Mendoza wasn’t the main culprit for the current mess. Furthermore, you can make a case that Mendoza should have lost his job...
We know that the Mets have had a very disappointing 2026 season so far… and they’ve made a move – manager Carlos Mendoza has officially been fired. Here’s what we here at MMO think about the move, and if it’ll really make an impact on the rest of the season. Nick Kalantzopoulos I’m hearing a lot of “this isn’t Mendozas fault it’s the roster.” And while...
Heading into 2024, the hype around Nate Lavender was real. The 2021 14th-round pick cruised through the minors, making it to Triple-A in under two years from when he was drafted. Especially at the time, when the Mets were desperate for left-handed relievers, the lefty Lavender, 26, was on everyone’s radar. Then, seven games into his 2024 season at Triple-A, he tore his UCL. Lavender...
The 2026 New York Mets may well be one of the worst teams money has ever bought. Unable to put any sort of winning streak together, the Mets once again showed how flawed they are during a series loss in Philadelphia over the weekend. Despite taking the series opener, the Mets flamed out in the final two games, including suffering a humiliating 15-3 blowout loss on Saturday. As a result, New York...
To be blunt, the 2026 season has not gone to plan for the New York Mets. If the season continues to trend how it’s been, the organization will be in for a long offseason. With that being said, let’s take an early look at what money will be coming off the books for New York at season’s end. The following are the most notable free agents the Mets will have following 2026: LHP A.J. Minter, LHP...
