On Tuesday, the Mets acquired center fielder Jose Siri from the Tampa Bay Rays for right-hander Eric Orze. While only a minor move and the third trade the Mets made with the Rays in the last five months, the acquisition of Jose Siri has the potential to be a trade that offers big upside – as well as big risk. Jose Siri spent the 2024 season with the Tampa Bay Rays, and his season played...

Or the pitcher/hype man who was in charge of holding the OMG sign? The franchise first baseman who picked a playoff pumpkin? Here is a look at which Mets are free agents and what I think the club should try...
The New York Mets finally have an opportunity to breathe after an emotional two-week stretch. Now, they await the winner of the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers series that will conclude on Friday night.

A home run by Harrison Bader, an RBI single by Pete Alonso, and a two-RBI double by J.D. Martinez were...
It’s the theme of the 2024 New York Mets season. Not being able to hold a lead and blowing a game late. It’s their book, which is costing them a shot at the playoffs. It reared its ugly head again in the Mets’ 8-5 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks, dropping them to four games back of the Atlanta Braves for the third wild-card spot. For the second time in three games, their...
