Clay Holmes’ next major league start may not be in a Mets uniform. But he suited up for the Triple-A Syracuse Mets on Thursday, his first game action since a come-backer broke his right fibula on May 15 against the Yankees. He allowed two runs on three hits over 2 1/3 innings and threw 28 of 51 pitches for strikes. He walked two and struck out two, including a strikeout of Spencer Jones,...
The New York Mets ultimately beat themselves in Milwaukee. Losing two out of three to the Brewers, the Mets only had themselves to blame for dropping the series. Sloppy defense, bad pitching, and a lack of clutch hitting ultimately doomed them in two of the three games. Fine margins are often the difference between winning and losing baseball games. And this team just isn’t doing the small...
It was a winning start for the New York Mets post-All-Star break. In Philadelphia for a three-game series, the Mets took two out of three from the Phillies. As has been the case throughout this season, it wasn’t always perfect or pretty. However, while series wins don’t matter all that much now, it was nice to see some things click, especially in a dominant performance on Sunday to...
Good morning, Mets fans! Per Chelsea Janes of SNY, the Mets and Clay Holmes are expecting to begin extension talks in the coming days. Holmes has been out due to injury since mid-May, but he was spectacular early on in the season. Through nine starts, he has a 2.39 ERA after having a 3.53 ERA a year ago. There’s a possibility Holmes gets traded, but he’s clearly seen as part of the...
Amidst both trade and extension rumors, Clay Holmes is taking another massive step towards a return from a fractured right fibula that he suffered on a line drive off the bat of New York Yankees outfielder Spencer Jones on May 15. The High-A Brooklyn Cyclones announced that Holmes is set to begin his rehab assignment with a start on Saturday night against Hudson Valley at Maimonides Park. The...
As he was recovering from Tommy John surgery all of last year, Christian Scott became somewhat of a forgotten man amidst the surge of young pitching talent in the New York Mets’ farm system with the likes of Nolan McLean, Brandon Sproat and Jonah Tong, among others. A former top prospect who debuted in May 2024 and logged a 4.56 ERA over nine starts totaling 47 1/3 innings that year before...
Ron Hunt, a Met infielder from 1963-1966, the first player in team history to start an All-Star Game and the runner-up for the 1963 N.L. Rookie of the Year, has died in his hometown of St. Louis, the team announced Friday on X. He was 85. The team said he had been in hospice care battling several illnesses for the last month. Hunt played the first four of his 12 MLB seasons with the Mets. He hit...
Unfortunately, the Mets look like they will be sellers this deadline and it is expected at least all of their rentals will be moved. Brooks Raley, as a left-handed leverage reliever, may be one of their most valuable assets.

Francisco Alvarez entered Thursday night with questions surrounding his future. He left it having provided a timely reminder of why the Mets should be careful about giving up on him. Batting ninth amidst trade speculation, Alvarez homered twice and helped guide the Mets’ pitching staff through a dominant performance in a 4-1 victory over the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. The win moved the Mets...
The Mets have the best record in baseball since the All-Star break. Sure, they are one of only two teams to have played, but after a miserable first half, it’s a start. Francisco Alvarez homered twice, and Christian Scott delivered 5 2/3 shutout innings to help New York beat the Phillies 4-1. The game was pushed an hour earlier due to the poor air quality caused by the Canada wildfires. Scott...
