On Thursday afternoon, the Mets trounced the Braves 16-4, reducing their season run...
Once the first batch of spring training games were underway, I projected what the Mets’ Opening Day roster would be. These projections are never certain, given injuries, surprises and more. However, with just ten days to go until the Mets open their season against the Brewers, let’s do another projection based on how spring training games have transpired thus far. Starting Lineup...
The first day of full team workouts has come to a close for the New York Mets. Joining them on the field was none other than Mets owner Steve Cohen. The billionaire owner looked on while players like Pete Alonso took at-bats, and chatted up fans who came to watch. Take a look at a few great photos by MMO photographer Ed Delany taken on Monday in Port St. Lucie, FL. Make sure to follow us...
Travis d’Arnaud. Luis Guillorme. Jarred Kelenic. All three are former Mets on the Atlanta Braves active roster. There are few things guaranteed in the universe, but one of them is an excellent performance by former Mets, currently with the Braves, playing against the Mets. The Mets are hoping they have the reverse scenario with Danny Young. Young had a long trip to the major leagues after...
Brett Baty struggled at the plate and in the field last year, but he worked on his swing and defensive footwork in the offseason and hopes to rebound with the help of veterans who are showing him how to be consistent. “I think the people that are the best at this game are the ones who are the most consistent, who can go into those valleys, but can also come out of it and stay like...
Updated Post: Feb 12 at 2:58 pm The Mets today announced their full spring training roster. It can be found here or below. Updated Post: Feb 12 at 2:32 PM New Met Shintaro Fujinami makes his way through the Clover Park complex. The Mets didn’t have a single pitch thrown over 100 mph in 2023. Fujinami, however, had 136 pitches of at least 100 mph in 2023. Updated Post: Feb 12 at 1:56 PM...
The Mets signed Ben Gamel, a 31-year-old journeyman outfielder who played six games for the Padres last season, to a minor league deal with an invite to spring training. Gamel has slashed .252/.332/.384/.716 for his eight-year career, and his best season was in 2017 with the Mariners when he hit 11 home runs in 550 plate appearances. The lefty broke into the majors with the Yankees in 2016 and...
Per Mike Puma of the New York Post, there have been talks between outfielder/DH J.D. Martinez’s camp and the Mets. The free agent hit .271/.321/.572 for the Dodgers last season while slugging 33 home runs. Martinez, 36, is a four-time All-Star who would bolster the lineup and perhaps provide protection for Pete Alonso. Mark Vientos, a 24-year-old who hit .211/.253/.367 in 233 plate...
The Mets have invited 11 pitchers to spring training on non-roster deals. Pitchers invited run the gambit from top prospects in the system to veterans looking to break camp with a new team. Last season, the Mets invited ten pitchers to camp, and eight of them ended up spending time with the big league club. Kyle Crick is in the veteran bucket of NRI pitchers. He made his major league debut in...
After bolstering their bullpen with the signing of left-handed reliever Jake Diekman on Friday, the Mets subsequently inked Japanese flamethrower Shintaro Fujinami to a one-year, $3.35 million contract. Fujinami, 29, will add a much-needed uptick in velocity to the Mets bullpen, along with his counterpart Diekman and the returning Edwin Díaz. NPB Beginnings The 6-foot-6 right-handed...
The New York Mets announced Thursday that they’ve invited 10 players to major league spring training camp. Top Prospects Jett Williams, INF (No. 45 MLB 2024 Prospect List) Drew Gilbert, OF (No. 53 MLB 2024 Prospect List) Christian Scott, RHP (No. 99 ESPN’s 2024 Prospect List) Kevin Parada, C Minor League Arms Dominic Hamel, RHP Mike Vasil, RHP Nate Lavender, LHP Eric Orze, RHP...
This past offseason has been well, slow. Big names remain on the market, and with spring training right around the corner, it’s anybody’s guess who will sign where. However, it’s as good a time as ever to take stock of who the Mets have, rather than who they don’t. It’s hard to forget about Kodai Senga’s electric rookie season or what Francisco Álvarez might...
