Teams will have 48 hours to place a claim on Robert, and he will remain with the Mets if he goes unclaimed. The Mets aren’t the first team to place a player on waivers in the last week – the Reds placed TJ Friedl and Eugenio Suárez on waivers, but neither player was claimed. Teams...
The New York Mets suffered not one but two walk-off losses against the White Sox. Both losses were nail-biters, while the Mets’ only win of the series featured a home run explosion. Still, it was a crushing way to lose a series. Although there were plenty of positives to take from Chicago, the Mets are now 59-72 on the year. On that note, let’s recap everything from the White Sox...

The boos grew louder as Luis Robert Jr. circled the bases at Rate Field after he gave the New York Mets a 4-1 lead Saturday with a two-run shot in the third inning. He paid them no mind. “(Friday), I felt a little weird hearing them,” he said through a Spanish interpreter after the Mets (59-71) beat the White Sox 10-5. “I felt it to be a little bit strange, but today, it was...
Luis Robert’s return to the South Side of Chicago to play his former team has been eventful for him and the New York Mets. White Sox fans met him with some boos on Friday night while New York lost the opener of the series on a walk-off home run. On Saturday, Robert let his bat do the talking with two home runs in a 10-5 Mets win. Carson Benge, Bo Bichette, and Luis Torrens also homered....
Oh, those home run balls. The bullpen has been excellent since the trade deadline, but the White Sox got to it Friday when Jake Rogers hit a two-out, two-run walk-off home run off of Jefry Yan for a 6-4 victory at Rate Field. The Mets (58-71) led 4-0 through five innings and Sean Manaea was rolling, but Chicago (67-61) got to him in the sixth. He coughed up back-to-back-to-back homers to Miguel...
The New York Mets returned home on Friday night against the Washington Nationals after a nine-game road trip and kicked things off with a 4-1 win over their division rivals.

Robert Stock got the start, but the Mets’ young bullpen was...

Tyler Mahle (4-9) threw six innings of one-run ball a day after Martín Pérez tossed six scoreless frames. Bo Bichette homered (12) to lead off the ninth and after...

He did not walk a batter and struck out...
The Trade Deadline has now passed, and the 2026 New York Mets look markedly different. In sending a total of eight players out the door, the Mets largely achieved what they set out to do by committing to a sell-off. They welcomed 13 new players to the organization, including the team’s new No. 1 prospect. And by stocking up on prospect capital, the Mets now have extra pieces to play with...
