One step forward, one step back. That is what the New York Mets (33-41) have done in recent weeks. After taking two of three against the first-place Atlanta Braves last weekend, they followed that up by losing two of three against the Cincinnati Reds – not a good recipe for trying to push closer to .500. The Mets will try to reset against the Philadelphia Phillies (40-34), who are now 31-14...
Major League Baseball had proposed completely overhauling the draft in its most recent proposal. Below is a breakdown of the biggest changes. High School Eligibility In MLB’s proposal, high school players will no longer be eligible to be drafted. Recent Met high school draftees include A.J. Ewing, Jonah Tong, Brett Baty, and Mark Vientos.

Kiley McDaniel and Jeff Passan of ESPN put out their top 100 trade deadline candidates, and it should be no surprise that many Mets players were listed. Who could the Mets sell? Freddy Peralta – 11 Freddy Peralta is probably the Mets’ best trade asset. His low salary would not push any teams into the next level of the competitive luxury tax, like Tarik Skubal would, which could help...
All wasn’t lost in Cincinnati for the New York Mets. Yes, the Mets dropped two out of three to the Reds as maddening inconsistency continues to plague this team. Losing this series in Cincinnati made the previous series win against the Braves seem moot. However, this team did show how things could be in the series finale, avoiding the sweep thanks to an ace-like performance and a...
Three of the Mets’ four full-season minor league affiliates took losses on Wednesday, but there were some bright spots across the board. Elian Peña and Antonio Jimenez both showed out for St. Lucie, while Nick Morabito put up a solid effort for Syracuse.

It looks like Nolan McLean has once again found his groove. The 24-year-old flamethrower was electric Wednesday afternoon, tossing seven dominant innings against the Cincinnati Reds. He struck out nine, allowed just three hits and one walk, and delivered his longest outing of June. “That was excellent,” manager Carlos Mendoza said after the game. That comment was an understatement....
The St. Lucie Mets recorded a no-hitter in their 7-0 win over the St. Lucie Cardinals on Tuesday, June 9.

Let’s just say the New York Mets rose to the challenge this weekend. Facing the best team in baseball, the Mets took two out of three from the first-place Braves. It was a weekend full of mostly positives. It was just a shame the homestand started so poorly, given what this team went on to accomplish against Atlanta. However, we saw plenty of signs of hope over the weekend as we enter the...
Spencer Strider tried to throw a high fastball past Bo Bichette in the second inning. It didn’t work. He’d tried a slider in the first inning — on an 0-2 count, no less. But Bichette slammed that one into the seats for a solo shot to get the Mets’ scoring started in Friday’s series opener against the rival Braves. It went 383 feet, 102.6 mph off the bat. Bichette homered...
If there’s one thing the New York Mets could really use right now, it’s for Bo Bichette to fully get going. It seems every time he gets on a bit of an encouraging stretch, it doesn’t sustain. On Friday night, against the National League East Division-leading Atlanta Braves, Bichette had one of his finest performances as a Met. He launched two home runs, including a grand slam,...

The New York Mets (30-38) have their work cut out for them. It’s simple as that. Four of their next five series come against teams above .500. The Mets faced some favorable opposition in recent weeks, but failed to take advantage of that opportunity. They enter the weekend with the third-worst record in the National League. If they want to play meaningful baseball this summer, the...
