It wasn’t a good weekend for the New York Mets. To simplify, it hasn’t been a good stretch for a team that is now 4-10 over their last 14 games. The latest chapter in the slump came in Tamp Bay, with the Mets getting swept by the Rays. There were some standout moments for sure, but in the end, it was a concerning three-game set that exposed all of the Mets’ ugly flaws. With...
Sunday was an underwhelming day for the Mets’ minor league affiliates. The Rumble Ponies didn’t play due to inclement weather, and the Mets’ other three affiliates went 1-2, with the three teams combining for just six runs scored. Brooklyn scored five of those runs, the lone affiliate to win. Despite the lack of offensive production, there were a couple of standout...
Good morning, Mets fans! The Mets left 13 men on base, Randy Arozarena dealt Edwin Díaz his first blown save since 2022, and Jonny DeLuca lined a walk-off two-run triple against Jake Diekman in the 10th inning as the Rays swept the Mets, taking the series finale 7-6. Tampa Bay also ran wild on the basepaths, stealing seven bases, four of which were swiped by Jose Caballero. The Mets begin a...
Good morning, Mets fans. On Saturday, the Mets (16-17) fell to the Rays (16-18) 3-1, putting the Mets below .500 for the first time since April 14 when the team was 7-8. It’s been an up-and-down season for the Mets, who have had a losing streak as long as five and a winning streak as long as six. They are now 4-9 in their last 13 games and will look to avoid a series sweep in Sunday...

Just under a decade ago, the New York Mets had a farm system stocked with electric starting pitchers that would later help carry the franchise to a World Series appearance. That core is long gone at this point, however, and for a team whose history is steeped in talent at the position, the Mets have had little to no success developing homegrown rotation arms in recent years. That promises to...
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,...
