One of the big question marks heading into next season for the Mets is first base. Without dwelling on who could have or should have been there, let’s take a look at how New York can move forward. Internal Options Jared Young hit nine homers in 103 games and posted a .759 OPS in his first year with significant MLB playing time. But he is 31 and likely best suited for a bench or platoon...
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...
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...
The New York Mets were swinging a hot bat throughout their series win against the Miami Marlins. On the way to sweeping the Marlins on the road, the Mets scored a combined 31 runs. However, on the flip side, they also gave up a combined 23 runs in a series heavy on offense. The offense saved the day on Wednesday when bad pitching led to a huge blown lead, and nearly another late in the game. As...
All hail Bo Bichette of the New York Mets. The third baseman conjured some late heroics on Sunday to guide the Mets to a win over the Giants in the series finale. Bichette’s clutch hit also sealed the series win. The three-game set against San Francisco featured many positives and some negatives for the Mets, who are now 65-78 on the year. With that, let’s recap everything from the...
Nick Morabito picked the perfect time to come up with his first big-league hit. With two outs in the seventh inning, he lined a 2-2 pitch down the left-field line for a three-run double that extended the Mets’ lead over Tampa Bay to 9-4. The Mets (63-77) went on to a 10-4 victory Wednesday to take a series from the American League’s best team at Tropicana Field. Morabito had started...
Oh, those home run balls. The bullpen has been excellent since the trade deadline, but the White Sox got to it Friday when Jake Rogers hit a two-out, two-run walk-off home run off of Jefry Yan for a 6-4 victory at Rate Field. The Mets (58-71) led 4-0 through five innings and Sean Manaea was rolling, but Chicago (67-61) got to him in the sixth. He coughed up back-to-back-to-back homers to Miguel...
One of the big positives of the New York Mets’ second half has been the offensive emergence of Francisco Lindor. Coming into the game on Saturday against the Washington Nationals, Lindor had garnered a .277 average with an OPS of .915. Lindor capped off a come-from-behind win in the bottom of the ninth inning with a walk-off hit as the Mets took game two of this weekend series 5-4. The...
Offense or, rather, a lack of it, proved to be the downfall of the Mets in Atlanta. After putting up eight runs in the series opener, the Mets managed just three runs the rest of the series. Consequently, they dropped the series after losing the final two games against the Braves. It was inevitable that the Mets would come back to earth following the recent hot streak. The offense still features...
Well, maybe the 2026 New York Mets can still surprise us in good ways after all. In somewhat of a surprising development, the new-look Mets went into Cleveland and swept the playoff-chasing Guardians. Not only that, but the post-Trade Deadline version of this team was incredibly fun to watch. Granted, this is still a lost season given the wins and losses don’t really matter at this point....
Bo Bichette singled in the free runner and Daniel Duarte pitched a scoreless 10th as the Mets beat the Guardians 6-5 Wednesday in a sloppy defensive game on both sides at Progressive Field. New York was down to its last out in the ninth when Jorge Polanco doubled, Marcus Semien walked and and A.J. Ewing bounced a ball up the middle that shortstop Brayan Rocchio couldn’t handle, allowing...
In game one of Wednesday’s split doubleheader with the Atlanta Braves, Sean Manaea continued his resurgence in the Mets’ 3-2 win over Atlanta. Manaea went six strong innings, and the bullpen guided the Mets to the finish line from there. Carson Benge had himself a two-hit day, culminating in the go-ahead double with the game tied in the bottom of the seventh. The Mets are now 46-62...
