Talk about a rough weekend for the New York Mets in Miami. If dropping two out of three to a bad Marlins team wasn’t bad enough, Edwin Díaz’s struggles continued to escalate, Christian Scott endured his first tough outing, and more red flags emerged. Sure, the Mets did show some life by winning the series finale, but one victory isn’t enough to convince anyone that this is a...

Sunday was a bit of a microcosm of how the Mets’ minor league affiliates’ seasons have gone. The three highest levels (Triple-A, Double-A, High-A) won, and each of these affiliates now holds a record above .500. However, St. Lucie (Low-A) lost and fell to 13-26 on the year. There were many phenomenal individual performances on Sunday, highlighted by home runs from Kevin...

The Mets are shaking up their lineup. Presumably, in an attempt to generate more offense, Carlos Mendoza has inked Francisco Lindor as the leadoff hitter on Saturday against Braxton Garrett. Brandon Nimmo is slated to hit third. Lindor has struggled so far in 2024, but has Garrett’s number. In fourteen at-bats against the lefty, Lindor is 5-for-14 with three homers and one double....

Good morning, Mets fans! Per Tisha Thompson of ESPN, former Angels infielder David Fletcher bet on sports with the same bookmaker that Ippei Mizuhara, Shohei Ohtani’s former interpreter, used. Fletcher, who is currently in the Braves organization, was a teammate of Ohtani’s for several years, and per Thompson, was one of Ohtani’s best friends in the game. It’s a pretty...

The New York Mets (20-23) were on the verge of losing four consecutive games in a home-and-home series against the Philadelphia Phillies, but they pulled out a 6-5 win in 11 innings on Thursday night.
