Good morning, Mets fans! The Mets agreed to a one-year, $3.8 million contract with Tyrone Taylor to avoid arbitration. Taylor’s 2025 season was a disappointment as he owned just a .598 OPS, though he continued to bring stellar defense. Taylor is likely to begin 2026 as the Mets’ fourth outfielder, with the Mets actively seeking an upgrade over him in center field. Latest Mets News...

Good morning, Mets fans! The Mets’ London hangover did not last for too long as they took Game 2 of the series in a big way. Harrison Bader opened the game with a bang, sending a ball to the left field seats and giving the Mets an early 2-0 lead over the Marlins.

With the World Series over and the offseason officially underway, it’s time to take inventory of how much payroll the Mets already have committed heading into the winter.

The New York Mets (50-61) looked to end a losing streak and set the season back on track against the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday afternoon.

Quintana pitched brilliantly against a Baltimore offense...
The New York Mets have had issues at the catcher position for over a decade. This offseason, the team decided to move on from James McCann and sign veteran Omar Narváez to platoon alongside Tomás Nido. Extremely early returns show that may have been a terrific move. To be fair, the bar was set extremely low. Last season, McCann posted a -0.1 WAR and an OPS+ of 55. Nido, on the other hand, was...
This offseason, we’ve been looking at the Mets’ history with free agency. Starting out the bad contract list were two players whose second turn with the Mets was unlike their first: Roger Cedeño and Jeurys Familia. Next is a former All-Star catcher who up until last year was the bane of Mets fans’ existence. There’s no recency bias here. The decision to sign James McCann...

The left-handed hitting Narváez had a rough 2022 season at the plate for the Brewers with a .206/.292/.305 slash line in 84 games. The 30-year-old had a...
The Mets can’t chill for 10 freaking hours. Less than a day after stealing Carlos Correa from the Giants, the Mets have traded catcher James McCann to the Baltimore Orioles, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan. Mark Feinsand said the deal was for a player to be named later. Feinsand says that the player isn’t expected to be a “notable prospect.” The Mets have reportedly...
Good morning, Mets fans! The Mets are set to introduce right-hander Kodai Senga at a press conference today at 11 am. The Japanese-born fireballer’s contract became official over the weekend.
