July 1 has infamously become known as Bobby Bonilla Day, a narrative which has been popularized around baseball over the years. Mets owner Steve Cohen even tweeted his happy Bobby Bonilla Day wishes this morning. Bonilla gets paid his 12th installment of $1,193,248.20 today, with 13 years of deferments remaining. The Mets have paid him a total of $14,318,878.40, with $15,512,221.60 left, as...

Michael Wacha had a terrible night and the Mets ended up losing 11-2. It is worth noting that in the last two-game set with the...
Good morning Mets fans! The New York Mets (20-22) dropped the rubber game in their series with the Washington Nationals (18-25) after losing 7-6 on Thursday afternoon. They now head to Miami where they seek their sixth consecutive win against the Miami Marlins (10-31) in 2019, and their eighth in a row dating back to 2018. Latest Mets News Jacob deGrom (3-4, 3.26 ERA) will look to continue his...
An MMO Fan Shot by Travis W. Baseball is a business. It is totally understandable that fans want their team to get the best players and that when owners fail to do so they are labeled ‘cheap’. I am not here to defend the Wilpons. Not at all. For starters, I don’t know their financial situation (as private companies, MLB teams keep their books closed) or how they determine their budget for Mets...
Happy Friday, Mets fans! Welcome back to another edition of the hot stove rumor roundup! Today’s news features a handful of one-year deals as well as discussions surrounding the fate of the Toronto Blue Jays, who are set to enter a rebuilding phase behind a prospect crop that may not be finished blooming. Blue Jays not Ruling out Selling In a recent conversation with reporters, Toronto...
Good morning Mets fans! The New York Mets won the opener of their four-game series with the Washington Nationals last night by a score of 5-4 in a 12-inning affair. The Mets used a combined seven pitchers from the bullpen to get through the game after Jason Vargas (6-9, 6.25 ERA) left with two outs in the sixth inning. Latest Mets News Jacob deGrom (8-9, 1.78 ERA) takes the hill tonight...
Negotiations between the Baltimore Orioles and free agent Mark Trumbo may have come to an abrupt end as the O’s have decided to pull the offer to their former slugger, according to reporter Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports. The deal the O’s had on the table was reportedly for four years and worth $52 million dollars, far short of the $80 million that Trumbo is believed to be seeking....
An MMO Fan Shot by Peter S. I have to admit, I can’t believe how many fans are buying into the “Yoenis Cespedes can’t hit good pitching” rhetoric. We are playing right into the Front Office’s hands by believing he is not good and isn’t worth a contract this offseason. Well, I don’t fall into that category. We are letting the Front Office let the best...
The Mets (64-56) were defeated by the Baltimore Orioles (62-57) by a score of 5-4 tonight at Camden Yards. Pitching: Noah Syndergaard got the start for the Mets, and got himself into immediate danger in the first inning. The rookie right-hander let up a lead-off double to Manny Machado, which was followed by a single from Gerardo Parra. Parra then stole second base, and Adam Jones walked to...
I’m pretty positive the Mets draft room during Thursday night’s First Year Player Draft was more surprised that Oregon State outfielder Michael Conforto was still on the board at number ten, than most Mets fans were when the Mets made him the first college bat selected by the team in six years. While some reactions praised the selection, a number of fans expressed concern in...
The AL East to me, is the most interesting division heading into 2014. Last year, the World Series champions (Boston) had what some might call, the luckiest season health wise in recent memory. In reality, if you picked any of the five teams to win this division – you wouldn’t be going out on a huge limb. 5th Place: Baltimore Orioles Part of the problem with the Orioles prediction...
Joel Sherman of the New York Post says that it’s time for Sandy Alderson and the Mets to stop stockpiling and start winning. Sherman says that when a top player becomes available, we need to have the wherewithal in prospects, capital and aggression to get him. Many of the great phases in Mets history have elite pitching as a backbone — notably 1969, 1973 and 1986. But all of the best Mets...
