Brett Baty showed just why he belongs in the majors on Friday night by displaying his power at Tropicana Field. The third baseman went 3-for-4, blasting two home runs, driving in four RBIs, and scoring two runs in the Mets’ 10-8 loss to Tampa Bay in what was also Baty’s first career multi-home run game. The young 24-year-old has had an up-and-down start to his 2024 campaign and has struggled...

Good morning, Mets fans! Late Friday night, the Padres and Marlins completed the first big trade of the year, as Miami sent Luis Arráez to San Diego for reliever Woo-Suk Go and prospects Dillon Head, Jakob Marsee, and Nathan Martorella. Jeff Passan of ESPN was first on the trade, while Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic had the return. Arráez is a two-time batting champion and two-time All-Star,...
Fall down seven times, stand up eight. That’s a Japanese proverb. The Mets got to Aaron Civale for seven runs. Jose Quintana gave up eight. That’s not a baseball proverb (or a winning formula.) Quintana had his worst outing of the season – giving up eight earned runs on 10 hits in 2 2/3 innings – as the Mets dropped the opener of their six-game road trip to Tampa Bay 10-8...
Struggling starter Adrian Houser, whose ERA sits at 8.16 after six starts, is going to miss his next turn in the rotation, manager Carlos Mendoza said before tonight’s game. “We talked to Houser,” Mendoza said when asked if the team would go to a six-man rotation with Christian Scott getting called up from the minors to start tomorrow. “For this next time through,...

A return home for the New York Mets (16-15) was expected to be a good thing for a group, but the team lost four of seven against a pair of NL Central foes in the St. Louis Cardinals and the Chicago Cubs. It did end on a positive note, however, as Francisco Lindor’s walk-off hit gave them a 7-6 win to cap off their series against the Cubs on Thursday. The Mets will now go on the road to...
The Florida Complex League Mets start their season on Saturday at 10:00 a.m. at Roger Dean Stadium against the FCL Cardinals. Shortstop Jeremy Rodriguez is the top prospect on the FCL Mets roster, who they acquired from the Arizona Diamondbacks last season at the trade deadline for veteran outfielder Tommy Pham. Rodríguez, 17, had an impressive 1.247 OPS in 13 games for the Mets and a .878 OPS...
The 2024 New York Mets are a difficult and weird team to try and figure out. There was the 0-5 start, then the hot streak, and now we’re in another strange stretch where the bullpen continues to reign supreme, but yet there are notable red flags across the offense and the defense. We saw the great, the not so great and the confusing sides of the Mets throughout the four-game set against...

After exiting Wednesday’s game with flu-like symptoms, Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor was not in the starting lineup for Thursday’s matinee matchup against the Chicago Cubs. This absence from the lineup was uncharacteristic for Lindor, who had appeared in every contest this season up to that point while also playing 161 games last season and 160 in 2022. As a testament to his...
Pitching was the name of the game for the Mets’ minor league affiliates on Thursday.

Offense was also aplenty on the day as both Syracuse and St. Lucie mashed their way to wins. Triple-A...
