Good morning, Mets fans! The psychopaths earned honors. Non-psycho Nolan did, too. According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, Alex Cora told the Phillies he’s not going to manage in 2027. The Phillies also tried to hire Cora in April when they fired Rob Thompson, but Cora said he was going to spend time with family. The Phillies narrowly avoided an epic collapse in the final week of the...

David Stearns took the blame for a disappointing 2026 at a year-end news conference Monday and also expressed optimism for next season based on what he saw from the young players and healthy veterans in the second half. “The disappointment of our season is very true and real, and I feel that,” he said. Looking to next year, he added, “there is also the real foundation here for...
In the midst of a wet and windy nor’easter, the New York Mets concluded the 2026 season with a 6-4 loss against the Washington Nationals. Although the Mets had some positive moments, their pitching ultimately let them down, and the offense struggled to keep pace. This defeat marks the end of the season, with the Mets finishing in last place for the first time since 2003. The Mets concluded...
Jonah Tong saved his best performance in the major leagues this season for his final start of 2026. The New York Mets’ young pitcher tossed five superb innings of one-run baseball in a game the Mets ended up winning 7-1. Tong’s final line read five innings, three hits, a lone run, only one walk, and nine strikeouts. The nine strikeouts is a career-high for the 23-year-old. Tong...
The New York Mets are looking to finish the 2026 season with a flourish. In the penultimate series of the year, the Mets took two out of three from a Texas Rangers team fighting for their playoff lives. There were yet more signs of encouragement for next year. Furthermore, it also proved to be a significant few days off the field too. The Mets gave Andy Green the manager’s job on a...
He’s been working with Edgardo Alfonzo and Francisco Alvarez’s performance Tuesday night was a good imitation of the 1999 Silver Slugger. He hit the ball to all fields, doubled twice and even scored from third with some heads-up base-running on a foul pop out to the first baseman in the 6-3 victory over the Rangers, who fell into a tie for first with the Astros in the AL West....
Heading into the 2026 offseason, the New York Mets were expected to begin a long process searching for a manager. If you count Carlos Beltran, the Mets have hired five managers since Terry Collins last managed in 2017. Collins was Mets skipper for eight seasons. However, they now have a sixth, and it’s Andy Green. SNY’s Chelsea Janes first reported the news on Tuesday, and the Mets...
Pete Alonso didn’t flip his bat after he tied the game in the ninth inning Tuesday with his 300th homer. He threw it and shouted and after he circled the bases to Citi Field cheers and “Fire Stearns” chants he took a curtain call. “It’s just crazy, how things kind of unfolded,” starter Sean Manaea (two earned runs, 5 1/3 innings) said after the Mets (69-82)...
The New York Mets won big in game two of a three game set against the New York Yankees, 12-2, on Saturday. The offense, led by Francisco Lindor, Carson Benge, Juan Soto, and Luis Torrens, exploded for 12 runs, 14 hits, and six home runs. Lindor had three hits, two home runs, and five runs batted in. That made the life of Zac Thornton very easy in a bounce-back effort on Saturday. Thornton went...
Zac Thornton allowed seven home runs in his first 11 big-league starts. The San Francisco Giants took the rookie deep four times in start No. 12. “Obviously the home runs are not what he’s looking for there … it’s a day where the wind is blowing out,” interim manager Andy Green said Saturday after the 9-5 loss in front of 30,046 at Citi Field. Thronton (3-5) saw...
