Good Morning, Mets fans! On Thursday, the Mets won a thriller of a game, beating the Yankees in ten innings by a score of 9-7. After honoring the life of the late Tom Seaver, the Mets’ first ever Rookie Of The Year, reigning Rookie Of The Year Pete Alonso won the game for the team with a two-run walk-off home run. Today, the Mets look to beat the Phillies in the first of their four-game...
The Mets have had a predicament for the last few years in which the team has struggled to find a legitimate, every day true center fielder. They have tried multiple avenues to address this issue with Yoenis Cespedes, Michael Conforto, Curtis Granderson, and Brandon Nimmo all having spent significant chunks of time there with Juan Lagares often on the disabled list. As of now, if the team were to...
If Jason Vargas can not retire Orioles hitters tonight, it’s a complete embarrassment. They’re by far the worst team in the Majors and they just traded away their core so they can begin a long-awaited rebuild. The Mets will travel to Baltimore tonight to begin a quick two-game series. Vargas (2-8, 8.75 ERA) will face Andrew Cashner (3-10, 4.83 ERA) at 7:05 p.m. You may not believe...
The Seattle Mariners have acquired outfielder Cameron Maybin in a trade with the Miami Marlins, as first reported by Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times. Maybin will likely serve as a right-handed bat off the bench as the Mariners wait to activate suspended second baseman Robinson Cano in the middle of August. In the meantime, they’ve been trying to keep afloat with playing Guillermo...
Congratulations to the Patriots and Eagles as they both won Sunday and will compete against each other in the Super Bowl on Feb. 4. It seems every front office GM was glued to those games as the baseball world was quiet on Sunday. Latest Mets News Mike Berardino of The Twin Cities Pioneer Press reports that Mets have recently shown interest in fan favorite Bartolo Colon. Colon resurrected his...
The Mets overall mindset has been what has held the organization back and it was never more evident than in the fall-out from the Giancarlo Stanton trade to the New York Yankees. The 2017 Yankees arrived early based on prognostications. A bunch of young kids and some useful veterans helped the Yankees to climb within a game of the World Series. Despite the achievement, and despite already having...
We are starting to see some major moves. Tyler Chatwood signed with the Cubs and Dee Gordon got traded to the Mariners. Though the market still waits on the NL MVP Giancarlo Stanton who we now know will accept a trade to the Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees, Chicago Cubs and Houston Astros. This comes from a report by Craig Mish of SiriusXM, who has done a great job covering the saga....
The Mets have targeted the keystone as a point of interest to improve upon this offseason. However, the free agent market for the position doesn’t yield any sexy names. New York could potentially reunite with Neil Walker, but that ship seems to have sailed. Eduardo Nunez has played second in the past, but figures to spend more time at the hot corner going forward. Beyond that, the only...
Monday officially begins the GM meetings in Orlando, Florida. After a 70-92 finish in 2017 and more questions than answers, the Mets find themselves in a position where moves are a must. Deals are more uncommon at these meetings in comparison to the winter meetings (which will be held from Dec. 10-14), but these meetings help kickstart a lot of the offseason chatter. If the Mets are quite active...
While the Mets have a need to fill at second base and the rival Miami Marlins plan to shop Dee Gordon, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com opines the two teams are unlikely to match up for a trade. On Thursday, Nov. 9, DiComo answered a series of questions leading up to the Winter Meetings next week and when fielding a question about Gordon, he says that New York’s financial restraints and...
The Marlins have shown interest in trading away players like Giancarlo Stanton, Martin Prado, and Dee Gordon to trim payroll according to a report from the Miami Herald. Some may think Gordon would be a good fit on the Mets, but they should be cautious about trading for the second baseman. Let’s say we are two neighbors in a nice suburb. A few years ago, I leased a car for two years and it...
It was reported this week that the new ownership group of the Miami Marlins, led by Derek Jeter, wants to slash team payroll down to $90 million — a sharp decrease from the team’s $115 million mark this year. This significant decrease means that the Marlins are probably going to be saying goodbye to some of their stars. Giancarlo Stanton, fresh off of a 59-homer season, could be a...
