They were on a four-game losing streak before their 5-4 win over the Salt River Rafters on Oct. 30. The Desert Dogs fell to 10-14 after their tough week of games. They sit in fourth place in the standings, half a game ahead of the last-place...
One of the New York Mets’ top prospects, Kevin Parada, hit his first career Arizona Fall League (AFL) home run on Saturday. The long ball smacked off the center field batter’s eye which is 410-plus feet away from home plate. The 22-year-old catcher, who had an up-and-down season this past year, is now slashing .231/.259/.385, good for an OPS of .644, across only 26 at-bats early on in the AFL...
The New York Mets had three of their Arizona Fall League representatives in the lineup for the Glendale Desert Dogs Wednesday night against the Surprise Saguaros and none of them were catcher Kevin Parada. Nevertheless, a different Mets prospect stole the show as third baseman Rowdey Jordan had a multi-hit night and drove in three runs in Glendale’s 7-1 win. It was another Met prospect that got...
The Mets sent nine players to the Arizona Fall League, including four position players and five pitchers. While just one of these prospects is in the organization’s top 30 prospects, each has enough talent for intrigue. Some players may have been sent to Arizona to fill out the roster and provide depth, but we’ve seen many of these depth players in recent years still make it to the...

Well, well, well. We finally have stuff to talk about here. After six weeks of rumors and lull in actual activity, the Mets hired a general manager, lost a player people widely expected them to keep and added a bundle of minor-leaguers to their 40-man roster. It was so busy, Luis Rojas getting hired by the Yankees as their third-base coach basically got swept under the rug. Let’s talk it...
Good morning, Mets fans! Following new Mets GM Billy Eppler’s press conference on Friday, where he discussed the search for a manager and his plan to be aggressive in the starting pitcher market (among other things), Saturday was as quiet as a mouse. Eppler did say he would be diving into conversations with Sandy Alderson and Steve Cohen. So hopefully for fans, despite Saturday’s...
