The initial news came from Daniel Álvarez-Montes of El Extrabase, who reported that the Mets third-ranked prospect will be promoted when the rosters expand to 28 on Friday,...
It feels like it’s been the question of a couple of years now, but we’re still figuring out how Mark Vientos fits into the Mets’ plans and what his exact role is. With no clear position but a hot bat in Syracuse, it’s hard for the Mets to keep him down there with nothing else to prove. However, they need to figure out a clear plan as to what his future looks like in Queens so he can have a...
With the end of the World Series, the off-season quickly commences. As soon as the final out was made Saturday night, 131 players around the MLB became free agents. This included a list of nine New York Mets. This list is of course headlined by Edwin Díaz and Brandon Nimmo.

Prior to being traded over to the New York Mets with Javier Báez from the Chicago Cubs at the 2021 trade deadline, right-hander Trevor Williams had almost entirely been a starter for his professional career. Of the 119 games since his debut in 2016 through his last game with the Cubs in 2021, Williams had started 106 of them between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the aforementioned Cubs. Williams,...
The New York Mets prized acquisition at last year’s trade deadline was Javier Báez. In that deal made on July 30th, New York sent prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong — who is now regarded by some as a top-100 prospect in baseball — to Chicago.

On May 15, the New York Mets lost a tough game to the Seattle Mariners, giving them their first series loss of the 2022 season. The Mets had the lead, lost the lead, then battled back furiously in the bottom of the ninth inning, only to fall short by a run. Some of the fan reactions after the game indicated a fear that 2021 was happening all over again, a good start followed by a demise. After...

MMO’s Michael Garaffa took a look back at ten of the most exciting Mets wins of the 2021...
The MLB lockout has been in place a little over one week. That’s not really long, but the absence of baseball news makes it seem longer. The Winter Meetings should be happening. We should be discussing the trades the Mets made, or did not make. Everything is off cycle now, and the real problem is that there is no sign of an imminent return to normalcy. Baseball has been down this path...
