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...
Luke Weaver, the Mets’ most valuable trade asset, has been traded to the Pirates. Weaver, a 32-year-old relief pitcher, has another year of team control after 2026. After falling out of the playoff race, the Mets had a decision to make on whether to keep Weaver or trade him at his peak value. Ultimately, David Stearns chose the latter and decided to move him to Pittsburgh. In return, the...
Good morning, Mets fans! The Giants are suspending payment to Harrison Bader following an incident where he rode a scooter into a fire truck, which then ran over his foot that he has been trying to heal from plantar fasciitis. Bader’s time on the injured list will be greatly extended because of this. The former Met has struggled to a .557 OPS in 30 games this season, and will now have to...
With the Trade Deadline fast approaching, the New York Mets were able to take a series from the Atlanta Braves. The expected selloff should start happening any day now, which means we may have seen this current incarnation of the 2026 Mets for the last time. If that’s the case, then they went out on a high. Stellar pitching and some clutch hitting saw the Mets take two out of three from...
In game one of Wednesday’s split doubleheader with the Atlanta Braves, Sean Manaea continued his resurgence in the Mets’ 3-2 win over Atlanta. Manaea went six strong innings, and the bullpen guided the Mets to the finish line from there. Carson Benge had himself a two-hit day, culminating in the go-ahead double with the game tied in the bottom of the seventh. The Mets are now 46-62...
The New York Mets managed to salvage something from their series against the Dodgers. After dropping the first two games at Citi Field, the Mets used some clutch hitting and big hits to take the series finale and avoid the season sweep. As a result, the Mets snapped a three-game losing streak. However, they are still 18 games below .500 with a 44-62 record. With that, let’s recap...

It was a winning start for the New York Mets post-All-Star break. In Philadelphia for a three-game series, the Mets took two out of three from the Phillies. As has been the case throughout this season, it wasn’t always perfect or pretty. However, while series wins don’t matter all that much now, it was nice to see some things click, especially in a dominant performance on Sunday to...
Good morning, Mets fans! Two weeks to the trade deadline. Rival executives told Bob Nightengale of USA Today that they believe Francisco Lindor will be traded this winter, but will remain a Met through the Aug. 3 trade deadline. Lindor has five years and $160 million left on his contract after this year, making him tough to deal by the deadline. He also has a full no-trade clause. Nightengale...
The Mets’ bullpen was the team’s Achilles heel in 2025. The unit was dealt a huge blow when Edwin Díaz left for the Dodgers in free agency. Through the end of June, though, the Mets’ bullpen ranked fourth in the majors with a 3.35 ERA. A recent four-day rough patch against the Braves and Royals, in which the bullpen allowed 32 earned runs in 19 1/3 innings, has put a dent in...
Talk about an apt ending to the first half of the 2026 season for the New York Mets. The Mets got swept by the Red Sox and invented new ways to lose in all three games. It was a miserable end to what has been a rotten 2026 season so far. What happens now with the Trade Deadline rapidly approaching remains to be seen. But what is clear is that these Mets aren’t anywhere close to being good...
We finally saw some heart and pulse with this New York Mets team in Atlanta. After dropping the first two games of the series, the Mets rallied to win the final two to split the series with the Braves. Yes, it wasn’t exactly pretty. And, yes, it could have easily been a series sweep. However, you have to celebrate the small victories too. In winning the final two games of the series, the...
