Good morning, Mets fans! The first domino of trade season has fallen, as David Peterson will be switching dugouts tomorrow. The struggling lefty will be joining the Chicago Cubs as the Mets will get corner infield prospect Cole Mathis, the Cubs’ No. 13 prospect according to MLB.com, back in the deal. Peterson’s tenure as a Met has been up and down, but after a breakout 2024 season,...

The 2026 New York Mets may well be one of the worst teams money has ever bought. Unable to put any sort of winning streak together, the Mets once again showed how flawed they are during a series loss in Philadelphia over the weekend. Despite taking the series opener, the Mets flamed out in the final two games, including suffering a humiliating 15-3 blowout loss on Saturday. As a result, New York...
Good morning, Mets fans! I have had enough of Kyle Schwarber. Francisco Lindor went 0-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base, a run scored, and played nine innings at shortstop in Triple-A Syracuse’s 5-3 victory over Norfolk on Sunday. Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reported that Lindor (strained left calf) is likely to return to the Mets this week, but probably not until at least Wednesday. “I...
Sports, and specifically baseball, can have patterns to them. As a season churns along, games start to mirror each other, even if they do not occur in the exact same way. This can happen when a team repeatedly fails, and it can happen when a team repeatedly succeeds. Unfortunately for the Mets, the rhythm of things has fallen into the negative category. Facing the Phillies on Sunday night, the...
Things could have gone better to start the homestand for the New York Mets. After finishing the road trip strong, the Mets dropped the first two games to St. Louis at Citi Field. Granted, the bats did wake up to avoid a series sweep. However, all in all, the three-game series against the Cardinals was another reminder that the Mets have a lot of work to do just to get to .500. On that gloomy...
At some point, a bad stretch stops being bad luck. David Peterson entered against the Cardinals looking for stability on Wednesday evening, looking for answers, and to remind everyone why he was one of the Mets’ most dependable arms just a season ago. Instead, the questions surrounding his performance only got louder. After Austin Warren opened the game, Peterson was tasked with handling...
The Mets have been treading water since dropping 12 in a row in April, but these last couple of games vs. the Cardinals they look like a sinking ship. David Peterson coughed up a three-run homer and a two-run homer as St. Louis built a 7-0 lead en route to an 9-2 drubbing of New York (29-38) Wednesday at Citi Field. The Cardinals (37-28) have beat the Mets four out of five this season,...
Just a week after the New York Mets were swept by the Miami Marlins in South Florida, where a game-ending grand slam punctuated things, the Mets returned the favor in a big way. They blew out the Marlins 10-1 at Citi Field on Sunday, wrapping up their homestand in style with a record of 4-2. The result also culminated a weekend series sweep and extended their winning streak to four games, the...

Now the Mets have the chance to return the favor Sunday afternoon. All eyes are on Nolan McLean. The Mets’ young pitcher has started to stack the tough starts.

President of baseball operations David Stearns and manager Carlos Mendoza met with the media today to discuss the state of the organization. The Mets’ Rotation Mendoza confirmed David Peterson is moving to the bullpen starting Sunday. He will not be available until then. This situation is fluid and will be dictated by performance. The Mets recognize that the longer he is a reliever, the...
The misery keeps on coming for the New York Mets. In a less-than-ideal start to the homestand, the Mets dropped two out of three to the Reds at Citi Field. They did win the series finale to snap a five-game losing streak, but that’s hardly cause to celebrate. We’re currently witnessing a team that can’t get out of its own way. Even at full health, it is hard to have any faith...
