The Mets hosted the Giants for the first game of a three-game set on Friday night. The game officially marked the beginning of the second half of the season for the Mets, and if this game is a sign of things to come, the team will only continue to disappoint. After a five-iinning start by Carlos Carrasco was followed up by two solid combined innings from Jeff Brigham and Brooks Raley, David...
Carlos Carrasco took the mound for the first time since April 15 for the Mets after missing time due to elbow inflammation. The right-hander faced off against his former team, the Cleveland Guardians, for the first time since getting shipped to Flushing with Francisco Lindor in January of 2021. However, Carrasco’s return ended up as the third time in four starts that he’s given up at...

Good morning, Mets fans! On Friday, it was officially announced that Justin Verlander will start the home opener on April 6. To line him up for that, he is slated to start the third game of the year for the Mets, which will be April 1 in Miami.

Carlos Carrasco enjoyed a productive start in the 6-1 win over the Marlins on Friday, highlighting his importance to this Mets team in the process. Every baseball fan knows that pitching depth is vitally important in the modern-day game. Without it, chances of succeeding and embarking on a deep run in the postseason may as well be marked at zero. With offseason addition José Quintana already on...
The Mets took on the Marlins at Clover Park on Friday night. Carlos Carrasco took the mound for New York while Miami’s number one prospect, Eury Pérez, got the start for the Marlins. Carrasco experienced issues with the PitchCom device in his cap to start the game, receiving a pitch clock violation and ultimately walking the leadoff batter Garrett Hampson after getting ahead in the count...
Recent reports have indicated that the New York Mets are open to trading Carlos Carrasco. This certainly would pose a new question mark surrounding the Mets’ rotation. However, if the team are really all-in on the 2023 season, then they should absolutely not trade the veteran starter. It has been a wild off-season for the Mets. During a winter that has seen owner Steve Cohen really flex...
The Mets are shopping veterans Carlos Carrasco and James McCann according to multiple reports. Carrasco has been reportedly on the block since the Mets signed Japanese right-hander Kodai Senga to a five-year deal that followed the signing of Jose Quintana and Justin Verlander.

Mike Puma of the New York Post first reported the signing of Kodai Senga raised questions about what the New York Mets future plans were with Carlos Carrasco.

One part of that decision-making process will be what to do with the team’s own free agents. In total, the Mets have nine MLB free agents and seven of their own players with options they will have to make/await decisions on. One of those...
