Despite Semien’s Struggles, Mets Were Right to Trade Nimmo

Last November, the Mets traded Brandon Nimmo to the Texas Rangers for Marcus Semien. When you frame the trade like that it is easy to look at Semien’s .624 OPS and Nimmo’s .731 OPS and think it is a trade the Mets should regret, but it was never truly a one-for-one trade in that sense. Semien was never acquired with the expectation that he would replicate Nimmo’s offense. He was the best return...

Zac Thornton Ends Rookie Year On a High Note

Going into 2026, Zac Thornton wasn’t one of the Mets’ blue-chip prospects. But after he spent most of the first half of the year in the minors, he got called up in July and proved down the stretch why he belongs. Thornton’s final start of the year was another solid one. He allowed two runs over five innings against the Texas Rangers on Thursday, giving up four hits while walking one...

Minors Weekly Report: No Mets Affiliates Make Postseason

The Syracuse Mets finished their season 5-1 in a six-game series against the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs. Despite the strong finish, the Mets just missed clinching a spot in the postseason by 1.5 games, meaning their season has come to an end.

3 Up, 3 Down: Mets Finish Home Schedule With Series Split

The New York Mets signed off at Citi Field for 2026 in typically frustrating fashion. In what was the final home series of the year, the Mets split with the Phillies, with both teams winning two games apiece. Some inconsistent pitching didn’t help. As a result, the Mets finished the 2026 season 36-45 at home, which sums up just how disappointing this season has been. The team also bid an...

Morning Briefing: Aaron Judge Headed Back to IL

Good morning, Mets fans! Yankees superstar Aaron Judge is headed back to the injured list, this time with a right calf strain. It is highly unlikely Judge returns for the end of the regular season, and his status beyond that is uncertain as well. When healthy this year, Judge has an .871 OPS which is a poor season for his standards. The Yankees are 89-64, four games behind the Rays for the AL...

Mets Place Jared Young on 7-Day IL, Recall Ronny Mauricio

Ahead of Friday’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies, the New York Mets announced that they’ve placed Jared Young on the 7-day concussion injured list and recalled Ronny Mauricio from Triple-A Syracuse to take his place on the 28-man roster.

St. Lucie Season Recap: Young Talent Takes Steps Forward

The 2026 St. Lucie Mets finished with a 58-72 record, which was fourth in their division and seventh overall in the Florida State League.
