It wasn’t a good weekend for the New York Mets. To simplify, it hasn’t been a good stretch for a team that is now 4-10 over their last 14 games. The latest chapter in the slump came in Tamp Bay, with the Mets getting swept by the Rays. There were some standout moments for sure, but in the end, it was a concerning three-game set that exposed all of the Mets’ ugly flaws. With...
Brett Baty showed just why he belongs in the majors on Friday night by displaying his power at Tropicana Field. The third baseman went 3-for-4, blasting two home runs, driving in four RBIs, and scoring two runs in the Mets’ 10-8 loss to Tampa Bay in what was also Baty’s first career multi-home run game. The young 24-year-old has had an up-and-down start to his 2024 campaign and has struggled...
Good morning, Mets fans! Late Friday night, the Padres and Marlins completed the first big trade of the year, as Miami sent Luis Arráez to San Diego for reliever Woo-Suk Go and prospects Dillon Head, Jakob Marsee, and Nathan Martorella.

Quintana had his worst outing of the season – giving up eight earned runs on 10 hits in 2 2/3 innings – as the Mets dropped the opener of their six-game road trip to Tampa Bay 10-8...
Good morning, Mets fans. The Mets suffered a crushing loss on Wednesday night as a bang-bang play at the plate in the bottom of the ninth was the final blow for the Amazins. Pete Alonso’s hand bounced up before the plate, allowing the tag to be placed before he scored and subsequently ending the game. However, an even bigger story is how the Mets’ offense has continued to struggle...

However, some red flags did appear as it pertains to one or two fatal flaws that may ensure this is nothing better than a .500...
Brett Baty was a pleasant surprise for the first two weeks of the season, but an injury and a mini-slump has seen his batting average dip 58 points in the last 10 days. It’s early, and for most players this isn’t something that would be notable, but after a disappointing rookie year for the top prospect any signs of struggle are a cause for concern. Baty, 24, was slashing...
Arguably the biggest takeaway to emerge from the Pirates series is the fact that the New York Mets just played really fundamentally sound baseball. They also got the basics right and handled their business on the way to clinching their first series sweep of the year.
