OTD 2008: Mets Trade for Johan Santana

His contributions to the Mets were measured in quality — not quantity. Injuries deprived us of knowing if Johan Santana could have reached the expectations placed on him when he arrived in New York. He was a two-time Cy Young award winner with the Minnesota Twins and perhaps the best starting pitcher in baseball. The Mets were intent on avenging a late-season collapse in 2007 and a major...

OTD in 2015: Mets Acquire Cespedes, Wilmer Walks It Off

It was a crazy week — even by Mets standards.  It began with the team seeking help before the trade deadline — specifically a bat that would jump-start a lifeless offense — as it teetered on the .500 mark but had first place still in its sights.  It ended with the Mets landing that key bat and beginning their surge to the NL East title and, ultimately, the pennant.  In between...

News: Tim Healey Explains Role In Mets’ Clubhouse Fireworks

After yesterday’s clubhouse fireworks, Mets’ beat reporter Tim Healey of Newsday explained what happened during his altercation with Manager Mickey Callaway and starter Jason Vargas. Healey said the conflict began with a misunderstanding over a comment he made to the Mets’ skipper. “Mickey came out of his office, dressed, and I thought he was leaving for the day, so I said, ‘See you...

Mets’ Center Field Situation Has Turned Into Worst-Case Scenario

New York Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen was outwardly confident about the roster he overhauled heading into this current season. Being confident is never a bad thing, but it’s hard to think about with the All-Star fast approaching and his squad currently struggling through a crucial stretch of games. Sunday’s loss against the St. Louis Cardinals was their third in four games...

Should Juan Lagares Be On the Hot Seat?

With a few of important pieces seemingly returning from the disabled list in the next few weeks (Robinson Cano, Brandon Nimmo, Justin Wilson), the Mets will have a few tough roster decisions to make. Realistically, the first move will be either Cano or Nimmo being activated and one of the extra bullpen arms being demoted, as the Mets carry eight relievers heading into their brief home-stand...
