Even though the New York Mets lost to the St. Louis Cardinals in Jupiter, Florida, on Monday, their minor leaguers ended up providing power in the top of the ninth inning against Cardinals right-hander Tommy Parsons. It began when William Lugo hit a deep solo home run to center for his first homer of the spring. It was a tape measure shot that ended up going 437 feet and had an exit velocity of...

The San Diego Padres are finalizing a deal with right-hander Seth Lugo, per Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reported that it is expected to be a two-year deal, worth $15 million with a player option after the 2023 season. Lugo wanted the chance to be a starting pitcher again, something he should be able to do with the Padres. Lugo, now 33-years-old, was drafted by...

Seth Lugo has been a New York Met for all seven years of his MLB career. During that time he has appeared in 275 games and he’s taken on just about every role a pitcher can have. Will Sammon of The Athletic notes he might have the chance to move back to a role he prefers: starting pitcher. Early in his major league career Lugo found success as a starter, pitching to a 2.67 ERA in 2016 (his...
Good morning, Mets fans! Mike Puma of the New York post reports that Seth Lugo has garnered interest from several teams in the early stages of free agency. Puma added that the Mets have not been one of those teams. Lugo has been a staple in the Mets’ bullpen since 2016. In 2022, after a shaky start to the season, he became one of the more reliable pieces of the bullpen and was often used...
Every aspect of the Mets game really synced up in their Saturday night 5-1 win against the Phillies, as it was the first time they’ve beaten Philadelphia this season. Despite Seth Lugo having a tough first inning allowing a home run to Rhys Hoskins, he made it through his start without any other issues. As Lugo finished the night with four hits and eight strikeouts over five innings...
It’s been a while without baseball. Too long. It’s frustrating. But, we still love the game. We miss it. A lot. So let us reminisce on those better days. What was the last Mets game you went to? Our team shares ours, but we want to hear yours too. Share it in the comments or tweet it at us @Metsmerized. Sal The last Mets game I went to was a Jacob deGrom start (one of his few...
A quiet night from the Mets’ (77-72) bats wasted a quality start from Zack Wheeler, as they lost 3-2 to drop their three game series with the Dodgers (97-54) at Citi Field. They now sit five games above .500, and have fallen to four games back of a Wild Card berth with 13 games left to play. (Box Score) Offense The Mets struck first in the bottom of the second. With one out, Robinson Cano was...
What a freaking shit show… I’m sorry, but as much as I love the New York Mets, they can often bring out the unabashed worst in me, and last night as I watched them blow a six-run lead to the Washington Nationals in the bottom of the ninth, the Mets unleashed the Kraken in me. Things were actually looking pretty good at first, but it didn’t take long to devolve after one very...
Brodie Van Wagenen and Mickey Callaway spoke earlier today and gave us a lot of information to digest in a short amount of time. Here are some of the important comments and concerns they addressed in their press conferences: Who Was Chosen For The Spot Start Monday And Why? Mickey Callaway was choosing between either RHP Wilmer Font or RHP Drew Gagnon. Font has now started two games in his brief...
I’ve been waiting for this, Baseball America’s review of the Mets International Free Agent signings for the 2018-2019 Signing Period. I asked Ben Badler of Baseball America when it was coming, with him saying “soon”. I checked the website twice a day, waiting for a chance to read it. While the period technically ends on June 15, BA decided to review some of the signings of each teams...
