After Juan Soto signed an eight-year contract with the Mets during the offseason, most looked ahead to the 2025 Subway Series reunion between himself and the Yankees. Many asked how would Soto perform against his former team. And what would a series of games between Aaron Judge and Soto look like now that they’re in opposite dugouts? May’s first edition of the Subway Series at Yankee Stadium...
Poor defense and a lack of offense were the main driving forces behind a tough weekend for the New York Mets. The Mets dropped the first Subway Series of the year, losing two out of three to the Yankees in the Bronx. There wasn’t a whole lot to get excited about this weekend, either. Sure, the bullpen was absolutely money in the second game of the series. That win also featured some clutch...
The New York Mets’ closer looked as strong as he has all season as he closed Saturday’s game out at Yankee Stadium. Edwin Díaz set the pinch-hitting Austin Wells, followed by the No. 1 and No. 2 hitting Ben Rice and Aaron Judge, respectively, in order, to earn his 10th save of the season. What may have been the biggest storyline of Díaz’s outing on Saturday was his increased...
It’s another Saturday. I know, they sneak up on us. That means a new, updated version of Major League Baseball power rankings has been released. The list is more or less the same from last Saturday, but there’s been some shuffling in the list. The major change in this week’s list is the absence of the San Francisco Giants. I may have regarded them too highly, but felt I needed...
There’s been some massive shuffling in the week two update of the Major League Baseball Power rankings. We have a new team at number one. The Braves, who have been entirely disappointing in 2025, have fallen off the list. And the list features three new members. To keep a little shorter, we won’t highlight the teams that just missed the cut. The league’s lack of parity is...
Good morning, Mets fans! In an offseason that has seen many high-level trades, another one seemed to be on the precipice as Nolan Arenado was potentially being moved to the Houston Astros. However, the platinum glove winner used his no-trade clause to stop those trade talks dead in their tracks, per Mark Feinsand of MLB.com. Houston is looking at other third-base options as their All-Star at the...

Steve Cohen has been patiently waiting and building towards this moment ever since he bought the New York Mets back in 2020. One year after finally landing his big white whale in David Stearns to run the baseball operations, Cohen will now attempt to claim his ultimate prize. That prize is, of course, Juan Soto. And it isn’t overstating the fact to suggest that signing the biggest name...
It was certainly a magical season for the New York Mets in 2024. With the deep run, the turnaround to the offseason is much, much quicker. Monday marks the opening of free agency and the Mets have several that are set to hit the open market. Of those, none are more prominent than New York’s first baseman Pete Alonso. Alonso is set to be one of the top bats on the market. Across his six...
