Good morning, Mets fans! The Mets are rolling. With a 9-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Mets earned a series sweep over the Buccos and have now won four straight series to get back over .500. Luis Severino had another solid outing and the offense continued swinging their hot bats during their four-game win streak. Click here for a full breakdown of the Mets’ win on Wednesday. Now,...
The Mets (26-14) are heading to Denver to face the Rockies (18-19) in a three-game weekend series. It seems like every time the Mets visit Denver, especially early in the season, the weather is terrible. Back in 2013, there was so much snow when the Mets visited Colorado, that then-general manager Sandy Alderson helped shovel snow off the field. This time, things are still looking unfortunate...

After the New York Mets dropped more than $250 million via free agency prior to the lockout, it’s safe to assume many Mets fans had one thought in mind: a return to the playoffs in 2022. When looking at the team’s 2021 performance, it’ll take a significant jump in results to go from a 77-85 club to one that plays postseason baseball. As everyone knows, the Mets have reached the...
Do you remember when Andy Martino reported last week that the New York Mets were mostly done with the heavy lifting for the roster this winter? Do you remember feeling a little bummed out it like I was? Well, I can’t believe I’m saying this, but MLB insider Jon Heyman is giving us a ray of sunshine to start our week. Despite Martino’s earlier report, here’s what Heyman...
Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players’ Association have broken off negotiations with the current Collective Bargaining Agreement set to expire at midnight on December 1. All indications are that the owners will impose a lockout beginning December 2, which would halt all free agent signings and trades. The offseason activity had taken on a somewhat frenzied pace in the...
Wait a minute, they’re not done just yet. Jon Heyman reports that even after signing Max Scherzer the Mets are still looking for another starting pitcher and one more bat. After signing the biggest deal (by AAV, $43,3M. Scherzer), the Mets are looking for another starting pitcher and one more bat — Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) November 30, 2021 The Mets payroll already stands at $267...
Major League Baseball faces a possible lockout two weeks from today, December 2, 2021, unless the owners and players reach a new Collective Bargaining Agreement. If the owners impose a lockout, postseason player moves will be put on hold indefinitely (until there is a new labor agreement). Information on progress toward a new deal is sparse. In an article in The Athletic by Lindsey Adler and...
Let’s get real here for a second: when was the last time you felt happy with or truly content about being a Mets fan? I asked myself this on Wednesday morning after continuing to see the fallout of Noah Syndergaard signing a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Angels. My first thought was, well, probably the trade deadline. While New York didn’t get everything it needed, I was jacked...
We know that changes need to be made. And we know that you’ve thought about it too. So tell us, what would your offseason as the Mets GM look like? Here’s what we think. Marshall Field This off-season could be cantankerous or calm, busy or docile as the old Collective Bargaining Agreement runs out on December 1. While the owners seem fairly steadfast with the way things are, it is...

Nate Mendelson has the latest on what’s being discussed. Latest Mets News...
The Mets need an upgrade at third base. Just like the trade deadline their main target should be Kris Bryant. Good thing the Mets are talking with agent Scott Boras about the 29-year-old right-hander at the GM meetings this week, the New York Post reports. Led by Sandy Alderson, the Mets front office group in San Diego will convene without a president of baseball operations or a general manager....
