Amazin’ Memories: Mets Sweep 2013 Subway Series

Baseball is back (almost). This weekend, we’ll see and hear the game we love as the Mets host the Yankees in an exhibition game at Citi Field. The Mets and Yankees have a history of playing exhibition games. Spring training matchups took place regularly from the early 1960s through the mid 1980s when the Mets trained in St. Petersburg and the Yankees trained in Fort Lauderdale. The teams...

Amazin’ Memories: Jacob DeGrom Pitches Well in Major League Debut

Some organizations, such as the Cardinals, are known for bringing young pitchers up from the minors and letting them debut in low-pressure situations, often out of the bullpen, even if they’re a starter. Then there are the Mets. On this date in 2014, the Mets had a young pitcher make his debut against the New York Yankees. It was the finale of the four-game series, and the real highlight...

Sherman Proposes Dealing Cespedes To Free Up Payroll

Joel Sherman of the New York Post decided to come up for a plan for the New York Mets to improve under the assumption that team only has about $10 million left in payroll wiggle room. The big move he proposes is trading Yoenis Cespedes. Sherman starts out with the idea of trading Cespedes though assuring Mets fans that it’s extremely unlikely given the full no-trade clause Yoenis has and...

DeGrom Runs Into A Roadblock Against the Rangers In Arlington

The Texas Rangers rode Jacob deGrom out of the game early, surviving a late five-run Mets rally to snap their four-game losing streak with a 10-8 victory at Globe Life Park on Tuesday night. In his last two outings, the designated ace has had major meltdowns on the mound. DeGrom gave up a career-high eight runs in four innings on a season-high 10 hits, failing to reach the fifth in consecutive...

Rangers Sign Dillon Gee To Minor League Deal

The Texas Rangers announced that they have signed right-hander Dillon Gee to a minor league deal. Gee, 30, is still recovering from thoracic outlet surgery — the same procedure that Matt Harvey is attempting to come back from this Spring. A former New York Met, Gee is expected to compete for a fifth starter spot with Tyson Ross, A.J. Griffin, Chi Chi Gonzalez, and Nick Martinez. Given his...

Featured Article: Seven Veteran Pitchers Who Could Replace Colon

The Mets world is reeling after the news that Bartolo Colon signed with the Atlanta Braves. This was unexpected, as Colon had passed up on better offers last season to return to the Mets. Now with the team having most of its rotation coming off of injuries, they are going to probably need to acquire a veteran starter on the cheap who can fill in Colon’s void and be a stop-gap in case of...

Mets Promote Tim Stauffer Over Dillon Gee

  The Mets today promoted right-hander Tim Stauffer who was 4-1 with a 2.48 ERA and 1.031 WHIP in eight starts this year for the Las Vegas 51’s. The Mets signed Stauffer on July 30th after he was released on June 17th from the Minnesota Twins.

Mets Minors: Gee And Nimmo Propel Las Vegas Into First Place

  Las Vegas (76-65) 9, Tacoma 4 After losing three of four to El Paso and moving out of first place the 51’s seemed to be reeling before Brandon Nimmo and Dillon Gee put them on their shoulders carrying them back atop the division by half a game.

Mets Minors: Dilson Homers Again, Gee With Another Complete Game

Bombs Away: Dillon Gee Roughed Up PCL-Style

What an inauspicious return to the mound for Dillon Gee, who made his first start for Triple-A Las Vegas tonight. Gee, who came so close to being a former Met this past week, tossed five innings and gave up six runs, all earned, on seven hits including two doubles and two homers. The veteran right-hander walked one and struck out six in his 86 pitch effort. And despite the pedestrian...

Mets Give Another Sign Gee’s Days Are Numbered

The Mets gave away Dillon Gee’s number to Logan Verrett on Thursday, the latest in a series of indications that Sandy Alderson’s endgame is to eventually give away Dillon Gee. Gee, who has posted a miserable 5.90 ERA this season, was designated for assignment earlier this week, removing him from the 40-man roster and giving the Mets 10 days to trade him, release him (and pay his full...
