It’s no secret that Shohei Ohtani’s immediate future with the Los Angeles Angels will be the hot topic of conversation as spring training gets underway. While the Angels and general manager Perry Minasian have tried to shut down any potential trade rumors regarding the elite star pitcher/designated hitter, that hasn’t stopped those from speculating that Ohtani could be due for...
It is no secret that Steve Cohen has made such a large impact over the two-plus years as the owner of the New York Mets. Notably, he had spent billions of dollars in ensuring the product on the field is as strong as possible. Well, now he is turning his focus off of the field. Namely, on the surrounding area of Citi Field. It is well known the area surrounding Citi Field is wasteful and...
In a report from Mike Puma of the New York Post, former New York Mets hurlers Noah Syndergaard and Zack Wheeler talk about Jacob deGrom’s upcoming free agency.

Currently, my biggest concern is how rejected this Mets organization has become. They have been deemed a pariah...

He played centerfield and went 1-2 at the plate.Martinez was not having a spectacular season, and in fact he has missed a lot of time due to injures, but in 218 at-bats for the B-Mets this season, he was batting .294 with four homeruns, 12 doubles, 32 runs and 21...
Much has been made of the Mets seeing if they have what it takes to trade for Johan Santana and signing him to a long term deal. Santana is certainly one of the best pitchers in the game if not the best. And while it would be great to see him taking the mound for the Mets every fifth day, I just don’t see how that vision can ever come to fruition.Earlier today I read on Matt...
This will be my last blog for August, both ‘Orange Seats and the Minor League Report. I’m taking a two-week vacation with my family. So, yeah. I’ll be back the 26th.
