Pete Alonso headlines the list of Mets set to hit free agency this offseason, but a host of others who finished the year in New York could be on the move, too. With the Los Angeles Dodgers capturing a second-straight World Series championship Saturday night, players who qualify are officially slated to become free agents Sunday. Then, five days after the conclusion of the World Series, November...

The disappointing end to the 2025 season for the New York Mets has been well documented. The team that once owned a league-best 45-24 record not only didn’t hold onto their division lead, but didn’t even make the playoffs. All despite having a clear path to do so on the last day of the season. Following the disappointing season, a lot has been made of what exactly went wrong. One...
That’s it. It’s over. The 2025 New York Mets are officially done for the year. Heading into Miami with their destiny in their own hands, the Mets fumbled the bag in the biggest way possible. They lost two out of three to the Marlins to miss out on the playoffs. While this team has been imploding for the last three-plus months, the way events unfolded this weekend will likely leave a...
In the week before he was traded to the New York Mets from the Baltimore Orioles, Cedric Mullins made three spectacular catches in center field; you can see them here, here, and here. So, when Daylen Lile drove a ball over his head in the 11th inning Saturday, Mullins had the confidence to believe he could add to his highlight reel. “First thought was make a play on the ball,”...
The 2025 New York Mets may have been defined in Saturday’s loss to the Washington Nationals. It was a loss that could, in the end, cost them a postseason berth when they look back on this season after next week. In their 5-3 loss to Washington, New York hurt themselves with errors on defense earlier in the game, and on offense, leaving countless runners on base, which showed a lot in the...
Before the Mets churned out 12 runs and 21 hits against the Braves in Friday’s win, the club was hanging onto an early 2-0 lead in the third. Nolan McLean looked sharp to start the game, but as anyone who’s watched this team the last month knows, no lead is safe. Especially in Atlanta. That’s why when Cedric Mullins stepped up to the plate with runners on second and third with...
Nolan McLean tripped on the mound and plunked Jurickson Profar with his first pitch. When the rookie left the mound after his last toss, he had helped the Mets break an embarrassing streak. McLean (2-0) struck out seven over seven innings in his first road start, and the offense tied a season high with 21 hits in a 12-7 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Friday at Truist Park....
It can’t get any worse for the New York Mets, can it? It sure feels like this team has now hit rock bottom. If this isn’t rock bottom, then I dread to think what the next few weeks may have in store. The Mets blew two leads on the way to being swept in Milwaukee by the Brewers over the weekend. It sure got ugly at times. As a result, New York has now lost seven straight and 11 of its...
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...
Good morning, Mets fans! Pete Alonso hit a solo home run to right-center field in Friday’s game against the Giants. With the home run, the 249th of his career, Alonso is now just three home runs away from tying Darryl Strawberry’s Mets record, and four away from breaking it. Alonso has been in a pretty deep slump lately, but before long he’ll be the new home run leader in Mets...
The domino effects of the trade deadline were felt Friday as the Mets optioned Luisangel Acuña to Triple-A Syracuse and activated newly acquired outfielder Cedric Mullins. The team also announced that lefty reliever José Castillo was outrighted to Syracuse and lefty Brandon Waddell is expected to start a rehab assignment with Double-A Binghamton on Saturday. The Mets added relievers Tyler Rogers...
