In the first start of what Luis Severino hopes will be a bounceback year, things didn’t go quite like he envisioned. Severino suited up in orange and blue for his first official regular season appearance with his former team’s crosstown rival on Saturday. Though the spring brought some signs that Severino might be primed to return to his dominant form, he opened his Mets career with...
We’ve made it, everybody. Spring training is finally over and Opening Day is now just exactly two sleeps away as the New York Mets prepare to get the 2024 regular season underway. Spring, as it always is, proved to be a long slog down the home stretch as appetite for games that actually matter grew and grew by the day. After all, there’s only so much Grapefruit League action a sane...
It is another split-squad Sunday for the New York Mets. Half the team will be home against the Washington National this afternoon while the other half are going to be in Jupiter, Florida against the Marlins. Sunday, March 24, 2024 • 1:10 PM Clover Field • Port St Lucie, FL LHP Patrick Corbin (2-1, 5.11) vs. RHP Luis Severino (1-0, 1.00) SNY Today’s game against the Nationals is the last game in...
For just the first time since the 2017 campaign, José Quintana will be a team’s Opening Day starter, this time for the New York Mets. That wasn’t necessarily planned or expected, but Kodai Senga beginning the season on the injured list with a shoulder injury forced the team to shift some pieces around. Quintana will get the nod against the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday, coming off a...
Roster cuts are in full swing as the New York Mets ready for their March 28 season opener against the Milwaukee Brewers. The latest round of moves, according to president of baseball operations David Stearns, consist of Jiman Choi and Mark Vientos being left off the squad. Meanwhile, Brett Baty, and in a surprise, Zack Short, have made the team. Vientos entered spring training as the likely...
We’ve nearly made it. Spring training is now firmly in the home stretch and Opening Day is less than a week away for the New York Mets. With less than a handful of Grapefruit League games remaining, we have a pretty good idea of what the Opening Day roster will look like and there is very little still up in the air. As such, now is the perfect time to round up the good and the bad from the...
The Mets hit a home run with a DH signing last night. They also got a home run from their DH today. Mark Vientos, who may suddenly be playing for a roster spot, hit an opposite-field, two-run home run off Luis Gil in the second inning, but the Mets (14-11) lost 5-3 to the New York Yankees (12-15) Friday in Tampa, Fla. With the news that J.D. Martinez will be coming to Queens on a one-year, $12...

Steinbrenner Field • Tampa, FL RHP Tyler Stuart (0-0, 0.00) vs. RHP Luis Gil (2-0, 2.31) YES For a second day in a row the Mets hit the road and play a team that is not named the St. Louis Cardinals, Houston Astros, Miami Marlins or Washington Nationals as they head across Florida to take on the New York Yankees in Tampa. Yesterday was a pretty good day...
In the hours prior to the Mets signing designated hitter J.D. Martinez, third baseman Brett Baty looked to continue his hot hitting streak during spring training. While Baty had a slow start, he has picked it up as of late. Entering Thursday’s contest, Baty was batting .290/.371/.516 with an .887 OPS in March. Manager Carlos Mendoza has noticed Baty’s positive strides this spring,...
It feels like March just started, and yet the end of spring training is fast approaching. However, MLB has begun heavily enforcing the obstruction around the bases rule, and those around the game are less than thrilled about some of the most recent calls and developments that have come about in that regard. Obstruction, as MLB defines it, is imposed when a fielder hinders a baserunner’s...
With just ten days until Opening Day, the final days of spring training are nearing. However, that doesn’t mean that some players are slowing down. Instead, certain members of the Mets are heating up at just the right time. Take a look at a few great photographs by MMO photographer Ed Delaney taken this past week in Port St. Lucie, Florida. Make sure to follow us on Twitter,...
The New York Mets spent Sunday playing two games. The split-squad affair saw half the team travel to West Palm Beach to take on the Washington Nationals. Meanwhile, the other half stayed at Port St. Lucie and played the Miami Marlins at Clover Park. The squad who took on the Marlins erased a 6-1 deficit and tallied a 7-6 win courtesy of a José Iglesias walk-off solo home run. The team against...
