The Mets (70-61) entered Monday’s series opener against the Phillies (76-55) seven games back in the National League East, their hopes for claiming a division title hanging by a thread. Despite falling behind early, the Mets improved their positioning in the division with an offensive breakout and a dominant bullpen effort. The result was a huge 13-3 win to move to six games behind...

It is officially time to hit the panic button. The New York Mets are in crisis mode after being swept by the Guardians at Citi Field. The offense looks completely lost. This team doesn’t look like a World Series contender right now. Not even close. Furthermore, the Mets have now lost four straight, eight of nine, and each of their last three series. We’re now in August, and this team...
This weekend will be one the New York Mets will want to flush quickly. Despite loading up at the Trade Deadline, the Mets lost two of three to the Giants to drop their second straight series. Furthermore, they’ve now lost five of their last six games. There were some positives sprinkled in among a sea of negatives. But, overall, this series was another step in the wrong direction for the...
The Mets have shown some level of interest in 40-year-old reliever David Robertson, according to Will Sammon of The Athletic. According to Sammon, Robertson will be throwing for interested clubs, and multiple teams are expected to attend one of his throwing sessions within the next week. The veteran right-hander declined a $7 million player option last offseason, opting instead for a $1.5...
Euphoric highs turned into crushing lows for the New York Mets in Baltimore. After perhaps the most thrilling win of the year in the opener, the Mets were swept by the Orioles in their doubleheader on Thursday. Poor pitching, zero offense and some questionable decisions all hurt New York. What makes this series loss all the more frustrating is that it appeared as though the Mets had turned a...
Doesn’t everything just feel better after a series win? For the first time in three weeks, the Mets won a series. They took two out of three from the Milwaukee Brewers.

Despite imploding in the opener, the Mets rallied to beat a red-hot Milwaukee team in the final two games. With...
It is official – the New York Mets have now hit rock bottom. In a worrying continuation of their recent slide, the Mets were swept by the Pittsburgh Pirates over the weekend. Yes, swept by the Pirates. Not only that but New York was outscored 30-4 by its lowly opponents. As a result, the Mets are now 3-13 in their last 16 games. That’s not good to say the very least. Overall, this...

The Mets announced that LHP Brooks Raley will begin a rehab assignment on Tuesday with Single-A St. Lucie. The team expects the process to be a long one, lasting several weeks, if not the entire allotted 30 days. According to Anthony DiComo of MLB, Raley will likely be an option for the Mets in July. The Mets re-signed Raley in April to a one-year contract with a club option for 2026. Within ten...
Poor defense and a lack of offense were the main driving forces behind a tough weekend for the New York Mets. The Mets dropped the first Subway Series of the year, losing two out of three to the Yankees in the Bronx. There wasn’t a whole lot to get excited about this weekend, either. Sure, the bullpen was absolutely money in the second game of the series. That win also featured some clutch...
For the first three weeks of the season, the Mets’ bullpen seemed invincible. They owned a 2.35 ERA through April 24, and the only loss they were charged with came in a bullpen game against the Twins. However, over the last six games, the bullpen has a 6.46 ERA and has been responsible for all three of the team’s losses. Wednesday’s bullpen game was smooth sailing through the...
