Good morning, Mets fans! Latest Mets News Some NY Post writers, Mike Puma, Joel Sherman, and Ken Davidoff reported that the source of Yoenis Cespedes’ ‘violent fall’ was a boar that ran out of his cage. Michelle Ioannou of MMO released an article to further discuss the report from the Post. The Mets signed minor league OF Ryan Cordell in a minor league deal as reported by...
The New York Mets (57-57) were swept by the Arizona Diamondbacks (48-66) by a score of 9-0 at Citi Field Thursday afternoon. The Mets will fall to .500 for the first time since April 20th. Pitching: Noah Syndergaard was on the mound for the Mets today and he struggled. Syndergaard was only able to last five innings giving up three runs while walking one and striking out six. Syndergaard once...
Today’s buzz is all about Jacob deGrom, and thanks to manager Terry Collins, the question becomes can the 25-year old righthander come from behind and cop this year’s Rookie of the Year award. “He’s always flown under the radar. He still is,” Terry Collins said after last night’s 3-1 win over the Mariners. “This guy has got numbers to match up with any rookie in the league, and...
After Jenrry Mejia and the bullpen turned in spectacular performances to help the Mets improve to 10-9 last night, I thought to myself, how the hell are the Mets one game above .500 given how bad their offense has been to start the season? It’s even more mind-boggling when you consider the caliber of teams they have faced. Through the first three weeks of the season, the Mets have squared up...
After a long weekend in Anaheim, two games extending into extra innings, and Sunday’s finale seeming like it would never end with the Angels charging to a 14-2 victory, the Mets conclude their nine-game road trip in Arizona. After taking two of three in Atlanta, and then losing two of three in Anaheim, this final series of the trip will decide if it is a successful one or not. The...
Things are starting to get interesting on the shortstop market, writes Jon Heyman of CBS Sports, and he’s right, they certainly are.. Jose Iglesias is expected to be out several months due to shin splints and giving the Mets some real competition as they look to replace Ruben Tejada who now suffers from a confidence gap – as if he didn’t already have enough to overcome. Among...
MMO and Amazin Avenue contributor, Jeffrey Bellone, posted a chart of where Seattle’s Nick Franklin would have placed among the top Mets shortstops in WAR in franchise history. Amazingly, Franklin’s production came in about 250 less plate appearances than the average of the other nine top seasons. An argument could be made that in a full season, Franklin could have easily ranked...
10:30 AM Quick update to this via MetsBlog: The Mets would be a logical landing spot for free-agent SS Stephen Drew, Sandy Alderson told MLB Network on Wednesday. However, he added, Drew and his agent, Scott Boras, are imploring a strategy that may keep him on the open market until June. “In light of what Nelson Cruz got, they might want to reconsider,” Alderson concluded. Adam Rubin...
Mike asks… Just wondering what you think it would take to get one of Didi Gregorius or Chris Owings from the Arizona Diamondbacks? They seem to have a surplus at shortstop as well as outfield. So what kind of a package would you hope the Mets could work out? Teddy replies… To Sir Mike, I don’t think it should be a package. If it were me, I’d go after Chris Owings for...
