It wasn’t a good weekend for the New York Mets. To simplify, it hasn’t been a good stretch for a team that is now 4-10 over their last 14 games. The latest chapter in the slump came in Tamp Bay, with the Mets getting swept by the Rays. There were some standout moments for sure, but in the end, it was a concerning three-game set that exposed all of the Mets’ ugly flaws. With...

Good morning, Mets fans! The Mets extended their win streak to five with their defeat of the Dodgers Friday night. It’s been quite the turnaround for New York, who started their season 0-5 and looked like one of the worst offensive teams in the league.

Good morning, Mets fans! Bob Nightengale of USA Today mentioned that the Mets not only are expected to “strongly pursue” but could be the favorites to sign Juan Soto in the 2024-25 offseason. It’s widely expected that the 25-year-old star outfielder will hit free agency after the 2024 season. Latest Mets News Francisco Álvarez collected two hits, including a two-run homer, as...
With the Mets reportedly “going full bore” after Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Shōta Imanaga, the Mets should shift to a six-man rotation.
A look at the optimism, pessimism and realism of the 2024 Mets season
The Mets are entering the 2023 offseason with an absurd amount of flexibility. After the non-tender deadline, in which the Mets let go of five players, the Mets’ 40-man roster now sits at an minuscule 28 players, of which includes starting pitcher David Peterson, who is expected to miss the start of the 2024 season. With that, the Mets have just 27 healthy players on their 40-man roster,...

The team noted the typical recovery time for such an injury is 6-7 months. This means the injury will undoubtedly have Peterson sidelined for the start of the 2024 regular season. Peterson, 28, went 3-8 with a 5.03 ERA overall this season in 27 appearances (21...
Joey Lucchesi, David Peterson, and even Jose Butto provided valuable innings down the stretch for the Mets this season in the face of injuries to the rotation. Lucchesi, in particular, was incredibly successful with a 2.89 ERA in nine starts (46.2 innings), and he is an example of how unheralded depth signings can be crucial for wins. While the Mets weren’t actually in the playoff race,...
