Good morning, Mets fans! Luis Guillorme completed his first rehab assignment on Friday night with High-A Brooklyn.

Guillorme has been sidelined since late July with an injured calf, and this is the first step in his return. Whether his return is with the big...
Good morning, Mets fans. The Mets lost their seventh game in a row on Friday in embarrassing fashion as they fell to the Pirates 14-7. A poor outing from Tylor Megill and defensive blunders put the game out of reach early despite the Mets’ best effort at a comeback in the ninth inning. The seven-game losing streak is the Mets’ longest since they lost seven straight from June 23 to...
In a week that has been mired by injuries, Luis Guillorme provided a much-needed bright spot for the Mets in their 6-1 win over the Marlins on Friday night. Starting at shortstop, Guillorme got his evening started with a walk in the second inning, but came up with the bases loaded and none out in a tie game in the fourth. Guillorme turned on a Eury Perez cutter, ripping it down the right-field...

This offseason, we’re looking at the Mets’ history with free agency. Leading off the list of forgettable signings were Roger Cedeño, Jeurys Familia, and James McCann. Next is a second baseman who starred for another NL East club, came to New York in a trade, but regressed once he was re-signed. Luis Castillo’s career as a Met is defined by a single play. Misplay would be more...
