Good morning, Mets fans! Chris Bassitt tossed eight innings of one-run ball to lead the Mets to a 5-1 victory over the Reds. Starling Marte hit a two-run homer off Justin Dunn, Dan Vogelbach collected two hits and an RBI, and Tyler Naquin padded the lead with a two-run triple. With the Braves idle, the Mets increased their division lead to seven games. Since 2013, the Mets have won 36 of their...
Good morning, Mets fans! Former Mets first-round pick Justin Dunn has been called up by the Reds in place of the injured Hunter Greene and is scheduled to make his season debut at Citi Field tonight. The Mets selected the Freeport, NY native out of Boston College with the 19th pick of the 2016 MLB draft, but traded him to the Mariners in 2018 as part of the Edwin Díaz trade. Dunn made 25 starts...
Over three ago the New York Mets and former general manger Brodie Van Wagenen made a blockbuster trade. On December 1, 2018, New York acquired all-stars Edwin Díaz and Robinson Canó. In exchange they sent two top-100 prospects, another top-30 organizational prospect, and two veterans. In total, New York sent Jarred Kelenic, Justin Dunn, Gerson Bautista, Jay Bruce, and Anthony Swarzak to Seattle...
With Jarred Kelenic and the Seattle Mariners coming to town, many will attempt to re-litigate the shocking trade which sent Kelenic to the Seattle Mariners organization as a part of a trade package for Robinson Cano and Edwin Díaz. Of course, 2022 performances invite revisionist history here. This season, Díaz has clearly been the top performer in this trade. Through 14 appearances, he is 1-0...
Even before the regular season started, you could hear it in Mets’ manager Luis Rojas voice that the team couldn’t afford to stay with Edwin Diaz as the closer if he continued his struggles. Well, the struggles continued big time – and could’ve been much worse if not for a bailout from Paul Sewald – on Thursday night when Diaz came into the game with the Mets...
The Robinson Cano/Edwin Díaz acquisition is already going down as one of the most one-sided trades in recent baseball history. The Mets sent Jarred Kelenic, their recent first-round draft pick, packaging him with a couple of their top pitching prospects, in exchange for second baseman Robinson Cano and closer Edwin Díaz. Since the Mets took on most of Cano’s remaining deal, the Mariners...
Good morning Mets fans! The New York Mets (76-70) completed a four-game sweep of the Arizona Diamondbacks (75-72) with an 11-1 victory on Thursday afternoon at Citi Field. The Mets now play host to the NL West Division Champion Los Angeles Dodgers (94-53) for a three-game set as they currently sit two games behind the second Wild Card spot with 16 games to go. Latest Mets News Noah Syndergaard...
3 UP 1. Steven Matzux Prior to Saturday night, Steven Matz had never gotten an out in the ninth inning. That includes when he was demoted into the bullpen prior to the All-Star Break. On Saturday night, he’d not only get an out in the ninth, but on pitch 99, he’d complete the “Maddux”(complete game shut out on fewer than 100 pitches). His final line was 9.0 IP, 5 H, 0 R,...
@BigHaloFan72 asks… Who do you think is more likely to be let go first, Mickey Callaway or Brodie Van Wagenen. Rob Piersall answers… Hey, thank you for the question! I think that Mickey Callaway will be gone before Brodie Van Wagenen. At this point, it seems as though Callaway will at least finish out the year at the helm for the Mets, but once the season is over they will let him...
When the deal was made, New York Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen — as did many other fans — championed the move, touting Robinson Cano’s well-documented track record of consistency (despite a 2018 suspension for performance-enhancing drug use) and the sky’s-the-limit ceiling of young right-handed closer, Edwin Diaz. Sending off Jay Bruce and Anthony...
The Mets are expected to complete their blockbuster trade with the Mariners in the next couple of days that will send Robinson Cano and Edwin Diaz to New York in exchange for Jay Bruce, Anthony Swarzak, Jarred Kelenic, Justin Dunn, and Gerson Bautista. While there is still a lot of work to be done the rest of the offseason, the lineup already looks different than what everyone had foreseen for...
