September Should Shift the Mets’ Priorities

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...

Internal Rotation Options in the Minor Leagues

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...

A Lefty Pitcher Resurgence is Happening Down on the Farm

It’s been a while since the Mets have developed a homegrown left-handed pitcher. David Peterson is the most recent, and his Mets tenure just came to an end. Peterson’s time with the Mets was mixed. He had some good times—his second half of 2024 stands out for obvious reasons—but was generally an inconsistent pitcher in both results and availability. Steven Matz and Jon Niese are the...
