Players of the Month: Baty, Senga Provide Consistency

The Mets had a somewhat volatile month in May. They struggled in the first half when their bats went ice cold, losing both series to the Yankees and Red Sox. Then, the Dodgers came to town, and the lead-up to this series was not an overwhelmingly optimistic one, but the Mets rose to the occasion, winning two out of three against their West Coast foes. Luckily, their bats started to wake up again...

2025 NRI Preview: Adbert Alzolay, RHP

The Mets considered the future when they signed Adbert Alzolay. The former Chicago Cubs closer had Tommy John surgery in August of 2024 and almost certainly will miss all of 2025. In early January, the Mets signed him to a two-year minor league deal. Alzolay gets to rehab with the Mets, and the team obtains an intriguing bullpen arm for the 2026 season. Chicago signed Alzolay as an amateur free...

With plenty of fresh and old faces in the NL East, the division boasts two of the best designated hitters in baseball,  Marcell Ozuna and Kyle Schwarber.

Baseball Prospectus released their annual PECOTA projections Monday. The forecast for the Mets? Good news. Before we get to that, according to Baseball Prospectus, PECOTA projections do not “pick” a team to “win” any particular number of games. Rather, they identify an estimated range of games a team might win and tells you the average of that fairly wide range. PECOTA projects the Mets will...
