Good morning, Mets fans. The Mets suffered a crushing loss on Wednesday night as a bang-bang play at the plate in the bottom of the ninth was the final blow for the Amazins. Pete Alonso’s hand bounced up before the plate, allowing the tag to be placed before he scored and subsequently ending the game. However, an even bigger story is how the Mets’ offense has continued to struggle...

Moving forward with our series of analyzing the New York Mets’ depth and future prospects at specific positions, let’s dive into the designated hitter spot. This position has been a turnstile for the team over the past couple of years as they look for any semblance of stability. There are a number of players competing for time in the role as the 2024 season rolls around, but the Mets are...
The New York Mets took on the St. Louis Cardinals Saturday afternoon in Spring Training action. With just three weeks away from the start of the regular season, things will be taking shape quickly as we head towards Opening Day, especially with a player like Jeff McNeil getting closer to a return. For today, left-hander Sean Manaea made his second start of the preseason. His debut was not...
About two weeks ago the Mets brought back everyone’s favorite player who dislikes sleeves – Luke Voit! Voit was drafted by the Cardinals in 2013 and made his major league debut in 2017. He was traded at the 2018 trade deadline to the Yankees where he made a name for himself. Voit had a solid 2019 campaign slashing .263/.378/.464 (124 OPS+) while hitting 21 home runs. The following season, he led...
In their search for an answer at designated hitter, the Mets signed Ji-Man Choi to a split contract worth up to $3.5 million with the intent of having him compete for the role and simultaneously provide insurance at first base as well. He’s been a reliable hitter throughout his career, posting an OPS+ above 100 every year from 2017 to 2022. The team appears confident that Choi can tap back into...
The New York Mets (1-1) entered Sunday afternoon’s spring training contest against the Houston Astros at Clover Park hoping for the team’s first win of spring. They were able to do so, notching a 3-1 decision. Of course, winning is not what spring training is all about. It is about seeing what the young players can do and who pushes for a big role come the regular season. Two...

There are only a few teams left on the east coast of Florida, so the Mets play the same few teams a lot over spring training. Luckily, the...
Two weeks ago, it looked like the Mets were set to hand the designated hitter reigns to Mark Vientos and let him run with them. While that still may be true, the Mets aren’t merely handing him 500 plate appearances—he’ll have to earn them in spring training. Over the last five days, the Mets have signed Ji-Man Choi and Luke Voit to contracts, adding competition to the position that...
Ji-Man Choi arrived at Mets camp on Saturday, just the next day after his signing broke online. The immediacy of both his signing and arrival at camp is somewhat surprising. The Mets weren’t linked to Choi this offseason, and it looked like the club was set at the first base position with Pete Alonso and Mark Vientos. Even Choi’s other position, designated hitter, looked taken care...
The New York Mets have reportedly signed Ji-man Choi, Jiheon Pae of spochoo.com reported Friday night.
