Amidst speculation that Jeff McNeil will return to the roster in the National League Championship Series, a shake-up is likely looming. Here is what the potential roster will look like...
They will never have M-V-P chants directed at them, and it’s doubtful anyone will ever look at the OMG sign and think Ottavino-Maton-Garrett, but the Mets relief corps deserve a ton of credit for their work during the six-game winning streak that has New York within a half-game of a playoff spot.

With Monday an off day before...

Good morning, Mets fans! Last night, it was another tough go of it for the New York Mets’ offense against the elite pitching of the Seattle Mariners. After a tough first inning by Sean Manaea, the offense was unable to make any ground and New York dropped their second-straight game 4-0.

After Jose Quintana pitched six brilliant innings, he faltered in the seventh, allowing two runs to score via a single from the ninth-place hitter Leo Rivas.
