He tipped his cap when they chanted his name before the game. He tipped it when they cheered his announcement in the starting lineup. And again after the tribute video. Before his first at-bat, Pete Alonso raised his helmet in appreciation to the 35,800 at Citi Field, many of whom were on their feet, wearing his jersey, his shirsey or holding a homemade sign made for a night they had both been...
On the night that Pete Alonso returned to Citi Field, the Mets could have used a clutch RBI. New York left nine men on base and went 0-for-3 with runners in scoring position in a 2-1 loss Monday to the Orioles (73-78) in front of a home crowd that showed a lot of love for the franchise’s home run king. Alonso received warm ovations, a pre-game tribute video, and tipped his helmet to the...
The New York Mets were swinging a hot bat throughout their series win against the Miami Marlins. On the way to sweeping the Marlins on the road, the Mets scored a combined 31 runs. However, on the flip side, they also gave up a combined 23 runs in a series heavy on offense. The offense saved the day on Wednesday when bad pitching led to a huge blown lead, and nearly another late in the game. As...
Good morning, Mets fans! The 406 in attendance for St. Lucie’s season finale went home happy. Jonah Tong will get the start Monday at 1:10 p.m. ET at Miami and take his turn in the rotation the rest of the way, Andy Green said. “He’s had a good run here recently (with Triple-A Syracuse) and we want to see him build on it,” Green said. “So, I think we’re all...
Can you believe the baseball season is almost over? There’s only a month left in the MLB regular season, and the minor league seasons will be done before that. The rookie leagues are already done; High-A wraps up this week, Double-A next week and Triple-A the week after that. It was a big August for many Mets minor leaguers on both sides of the game. Let’s go through who was the best...
The Syracuse Mets had two dominant pitching efforts this past week. One was a combined no-hitter with the help of six pitchers, while the other was a near no-hitter in a dominant start from Jonah Tong. The Mets have been strong in the second half, particularly because of their pitching, and are fighting for a spot in the postseason. Find the latest stats and news across the Mets minor leagues in...
The Syracuse Mets swept their doubleheader on Saturday. Leading the charge was Jonah Tong who set the tone in the first game. He went the full seven innings and only allowed a single hit.

It’s time for Marcus Semien, Luis Robert Jr. and Robert Stock to become cheerleaders. With an eye toward 2027, the Mets should make changes to the starting lineup and the rotation next month. Teams can expand rosters to 28 on Sept. 1, with a cap of 14 pitchers. Who should get called up and how should the playing time shake out? Here’s a plan. Position Players Ronny Mauricio, 25, has...
Jonah Tong threw 5 2/3 scoreless innings and struck out three in Triple-A Syracuse’s 3-0 victory Saturday over Worcester. This came one night after Jack Wenninger threw five no-hit innings. It’s been a rough year for the organization’s top pitching prospect. Tong has served up 22 home runs (second-most in Triple-A) a year after giving up just two in the minors. But he’s...
Good morning, Mets fans. On Friday, reporter Francys Romero reported that the 2026-27 international signing period is not expected to take place. With a lockout looming this offseason, the absence of an international signing period suggests that baseball might be delayed next season with CBA talks still very far apart. Latest Mets News The Mets (58-71) fell to the White Sox (67-61) 6-4 on Friday...
Émilien Pitre and Elian Peña both earned promotions on Sunday, with Pitre to the Syracuse Mets and Peña to the Brooklyn Cyclones.

Triple-A Syracuse Mets (58-60) 0, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (59-58) 0 Box Score SS Ronny...
Robert Stock got lit up on Saturday. He lasted just three innings and gave up eight earned runs on nine hits and five walks. It was a crash back to reality after a stellar first MLB start since 2022 for the 36-year-old, jumping his small-sample-size ERA from 1.80 to 10.13. No, he’s not a 10.13 ERA pitcher. There are things to like. He throws pretty hard, has a strong arsenal that goes five...
