Good morning, Mets fans! Latest Mets News In the early hours of Sunday morning, Jon Heyman of the NY Post reported that the New York Mets have signed starting pitcher Sean Manaea to a two-year deal. The contract is reportedly worth a total of $28 million and includes a player opt-out after the 2024 season. Latest MLB News The Los Angeles Angels announced on Saturday that they agreed to a...
The New York Mets, following an impressive stretch last week, stagnated as they lost two of three to both the Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Angels this week. There was a silver lining, however, as Francisco Lindor sustained his torrid play while Adam Kolarek impressed in his first handful of outings as a Met. Hitter of the Week Lindor is in the midst of one of the best seasons of his career,...
In 2010, Adam Kolarek was an 11th-round pick by the Mets out of the University of Maryland. Before he could make the majors though, the Mets released him in 2015. However, after a trade with the Dodgers, the Mets have brought Kolarek back to Flushing for a second stint. Since coming back to Queens, the sidearming lefty has impressed with three scoreless appearances and has struck out four of the...
The New York Mets made two final deals before the trade deadline. First, they sent relief pitcher Dominic Leone to the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for infield prospect Jeremiah Jackson. Then, to end the day, they acquired a duo of relievers from the Los Angeles Dodgers in Phil Bickford and Adam Kolarek for cash considerations. The Mets originally signed Leone back on May 4 to a one-year deal...
With the unfortunate news that Bobby Parnell has a torn MCL in his right elbow and could be out for a significant amount of time, I wanted to revisit a post I wrote this Winter where I profiled my Top 5 Mets Relief Prospects. These are some names that could help the Mets in the very near future. For the past few seasons, the Mets bullpen has been a major weakness. They have consistently ranked...
The New York Mets were defeated 2-0 on Saturday, losing a pair of exhibition games to the Toronto Blue Jays at Olympic Stadium in Montreal before their home opener on Monday. Today’s contest featured some great pitching on both sides as the game remained scoreless into the bottom of the eighth when Melky Cabrera blasted a two-run homer off Adam Kolarek to end the deadlock and give the Jays...
He’s a dark horse of sorts at the Mets spring training complex in Port St. Lucie. With so much attention fixed on young Met pitching guns, a list that includes Noah Syndergaard, Rafael Montero, Jacob deGrom, and Cory Mazzoni, this tall left-handed relief specialist doesn’t command much hype. Yet, don’t be surprised if by the end of the Met’s Florida camp, if 24-year old Adam Kolarek has turned...
For the past few seasons, the Mets bullpen has been a major weakness. They have consistently ranked among the league’s worst, and they did not perform much better this season. In 2013, the Mets bullpen finished in the bottom ten in ERA, WHIP, and strikeouts. Despite these struggles, the relief corps can become a strength in the future. The Mets have many talented relief prospects who have the...
With Binghamton closer Jeff Walters becoming an almost impenetrable ninth inning wall at NYSEG Stadium this summer, it would be easy to overlook the overall 2013 brilliance of the B-Met bullpen. That’s particularly the case with two unsung left-handers who have turned out stellar performances all summer from the Binghamton pen. Like two peas in a pod, Adam Kolarek and Chase Huchingson have been...
Disclaimer: I am not necessarily in favor of trading Bobby Parnell, but since there’s a recent post for the opposite side of this argument, I figured I could play a little devil’s advocate. Bobby Parnell is arguably one of the hottest names on the back-end relief market right now. He hasn’t allowed a home run all year, his WHIP is under 1.00, and his ERA sits at 2.30 with 17...
The storyline for the Binghamton Mets Sunday was a four home run barrage, solid pitching and a 7-2 victory over the Erie Seawolves to improve their record to 46-28 and win their ninth series in a row. For New York Met fans the news was all about Noah Syndergaard. Syndergaard, a 6’4” flame throwing, right-handed pitcher was one of the pieces in the R.A. Dickey trade. After starting his Met...
Binghamton 9, Akron 4 Cory Vaughn highlighted a six-run fifth inning with a grand slam as the B-Mets came from behind to beat the Akron Aeros, 9-4 Wednesday night at NYSEG Stadium. The win gave Binghamton the series sweep, and their fourth consecutive victory overall. For the third straight night, the Akron offense struck first against Binghamton pitching. In the fourth, Carlos Moncrief doubled...
