Mets Exercise Raley’s Option, Sign Waddell

The Mets have officially announced a slew of roster moves, making decisions on multiple club options. The club exercised their $4.75 million club option on southpaw Brooks Raley. Raley, 37, had a strong bounce-back campaign in 2025 following his recovery from Tommy John surgery. He posted a 2.45 ERA over 25 2/3 innings, proving particularly dominant against left-handed hitters, who slashed a...

3 Up, 3 Down: Mets’ 2025 Season In Review

The 2025 season will go down as one of the biggest disappointments in the history of the New York Mets. It will also go down as one of the most embarrassing collapses in franchise history, too. Forget 2007—the Mets didn’t have a great team chasing them down this time around. They just flat-out blew it. Consider this: New York owned the best record in all of baseball on the morning of June...

Montas’ Continued Struggles Plays Key Role In Mets’ Sixth Straight Loss

The New York Mets have had a season-long Frankie Montas problem, and that continued on Saturday. The 32-year-old veteran entered Saturday night’s game with a 6.68 ERA across seven starts. As a result, the Mets made the decision to pitch an opener in front of the right-handed starter, bring him in the game’s second inning. Despite this, not only was Montas’ performance uneven...

3 Up, 3 Down: Mets Suffer Tough Weekend Against Giants

This weekend will be one the New York Mets will want to flush quickly. Despite loading up at the Trade Deadline, the Mets lost two of three to the Giants to drop their second straight series. Furthermore, they’ve now lost five of their last six games. There were some positives sprinkled in among a sea of negatives. But, overall, this series was another step in the wrong direction for the...

Montas Comes Up Small Against Giants

When the Mets signed Frankie Montas to a two-year, $34 million contract to start their offseason this past winter, there were many roads of possibility for the veteran pitcher. Unfortunately for Montas and the Mets, it has gone about as badly as possible so far in year one. Montas missed the first three months of the season due to injury. He pitched so poorly in his rehab outings that Carlos...

Mets Blown Out By Giants, Drop Series In New York
