Mets first base prospect (No. 13 prospect) Cole Mathis hit a game-tying solo homer in the eighth inning on Sunday during the Surprise Saguaros’ 5-4 win over the Glendale Desert Dogs. (Box score) Mathis, whom the Mets acquired in June from the Cubs for David Peterson, went 1-for-4 and is 2-for-15 in four AFL games. The homer was his first since joining the organization. The 2024...
Good morning, Mets fans! Let’s review the Freddy Peralta trade.

The Rays leads the series 1-0. The Mets dealt Peralta to Tampa Bay for second baseman Émilien Pitre, outfielder Aidan Smith and RHP Gary Gill Hill. It...
The Mets are sending three position players to the Arizona Fall League, which starts play on Saturday and runs through Nov. 14. The AFL is a six-team league made up of minor leaguers from the 30 MLB teams. The Mets will join prospects from the Guardians, Phillies, Rangers and Royals to form the AFL’s Surprise Saguaros. New York will also send five pitchers, which MMO will cover in a...
Two of the five games scheduled for Saturday were rained out for the New York Mets’ organizational teams, leaving almost half of the initial slate of play. Results varied on Saturday, but strong pitching was a common theme across all levels. Syracuse (Triple-A) is now set for a doubleheader on Sunday with the Buffalo Bisons, and no plans for the makeup of Saturday’s rainout were announced...
To kick off our rankings of the Top 50 Mets prospects for 2026, we first took a look at a few arms who could potentially help the Mets this season in the 50-46 range, and then the 45-41 group was heavily mostly on young talent from the Dominican Summer League. The 40-36 contingent highlighted right-handed pitchers as well as some versatile bats. The 35-31 group was dominated by right-handed...
Lefty Jonathan Santucci struck out a career-high 11 Friday in Double-A Binghamton’s 4-2 victory over New Hampshire. He gave up one unearned run on three hits and a walk over 5 1/3 innings to drop his ERA to 2.73. He has struck out 40 in 29 2/3 innings in six starts since his promotion to Binghamton. The 22-year-old drafted last year in the second round out of Duke came in at No. 13 on...
The New York Mets saw encouraging signs on the mound Saturday across multiple levels of their system. Paul Blackburn continued his rehab assignment with a solid 5 1/3-inning outing as he works his way back from a shoulder injury. Also on rehab, Brandon Waddell threw 2 2/3 hitless innings as Binghamton’s pitching staff threw their second seven-inning no-hitter of the season, combining for 13...
Brandon Sproat allowed zero runs while striking out nine in a Syracuse win, Binghamton was rained out, Brooklyn was powered by A.J. Ewing in their victory and St. Lucie received strong efforts from Randy Guzman and Simon Juan in their win. Triple-A Syracuse Mets (54-51) 2, Buffalo Bisons (40-61) 1 Box Score 1B-LF Jared Young 1-for-5, 1 K (.887 OPS) DH Luke Ritter 0-for-3, 1 R, 2 BB, 1 K (.722...
Carson Benge extended his hot streak in Double-A with a homer and 2-for-4 night, though Binghamton lost 6-5. Boston Baro followed up his four-hit game with another multi-hit game in High-A, while Brendan Girton exited early with an injury. Randy Guzman impressed in Low-A with multiple extra-base hits, and Juan Arnaud continued his scoreless streak. Triple-A Buffalo Bisons (40-59) 1, Syracuse...
Make time to binge-watch the Benge highlight reel. Carson Benge homered in the first inning, hit another in the second, singled in a run in the third, and (my personal favorite), cut down a runner at home from center field. The first round pick in last year’s draft helped Double-A Binghamton eke out a 17-3 win over Reading. Benge went 4-for-6 with a walk, three RBIs and four runs scored....
Drew Gilbert homered twice, doubled, and drove in four runs to lead Triple-A Syracuse to an 8-2 victory Friday over Omaha. The 24-year-old center fielder’s big night came two days after he went 4-for-5 with a double. He’s raised his OPS 127 points since June 22. The Mets traded a pair of minor league right-handed pitchers to the Orioles Friday for lefty reliever Gregory Soto....
Top prospect Jett Williams hit two solo homers, singled, and stole a base Friday for Double-A Binghamton. The 21-year-old, selected in the first round (14th overall) of the 2022 draft out of Rockwell-Heath (Texas) High School, is flourishing this year after missing much of 2024 due to injury. Binghamton was forced to make do without pitcher Jonah Tong and outfielder Carson Benge. The pair were...
