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. Brooks Raley Position: Reliever Bats/Throws: L/L Age: 38 (June 29, 1988) 2026 Traditional Stats: 40 G, 35.2 IP, 2.02 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, 0 S, 27 H, 37 SO, 14 BB 2026 Advanced...
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 American League and National League All-Stars took to the field for the 96th MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday night at Citizens Bank Park, home of the Philadelphia Phillies. It was a pitcher’s duel for the majority of this year’s All-Star Game as the American League shut down the National League on Tuesday night 4-0. The AL took the early lead with a three-run first inning. It was all Yankees...
Talk about an apt ending to the first half of the 2026 season for the New York Mets. The Mets got swept by the Red Sox and invented new ways to lose in all three games. It was a miserable end to what has been a rotten 2026 season so far. What happens now with the Trade Deadline rapidly approaching remains to be seen. But what is clear is that these Mets aren’t anywhere close to being good...
The New York Mets entered Sunday in desperate need of a victory prior to the All-Star break. A crucial ninth-inning error by Francisco Lindor spoiled Zack Thornton’s gem resulting in an extra-innings 3-2 loss. Entering the All-Star break, the Mets own a 40-57 first-half record. The offense was sparse again for the Mets. Francisco Lindor provided the big hits, doubling home A.J. Ewing in the...

Meanwhile, the second day of the draft, which spans rounds five through 20, will be streamed on MLB.com, MLB TV, MLB+, beginning at 11:30 am ET.

The experts weren’t the only ones surprised Saturday when the Mets took a chance on University of Arkansas pitcher Carson Wiggins with the 27th pick of the draft. “Did not see this coming at all,” Wiggins told SNY. “So I think the Mets taking a chance on me is very surreal to me and I’ve wanted this since I was a little kid.” Wiggins, 21, 6-foot-5 and 215...
One team endured a brutal 24-hour travel experience and arrived at the ballpark just two hours before the scheduled first pitch. The other slept in the comfort of their own beds the night before. You’d probably think the latter squad would have the clear advantage…until I told you that team was the 2026 New York Mets. Facing a Boston Red Sox team that suffered through multiple travel issues en...

For the first time since June 12-14 against the Atlanta Braves, the New York Mets (40-54) won a series at home. Their offense played a critical role in them taking two of three over the Kansas City Royals, scoring 8.33 runs per game in the series. The Mets’ lineup looks a lot lengthier with the emergence of A.J. Ewing and Carson Benge, who look more comfortable with every at-bat. They will...
We saw some progress with the New York Mets this week. Namely, we saw a lot of improvement from the offense. To be more precise, the Mets got consistent production from the lineup throughout the entire three-game series. And we haven’t been able to say that all too often this year. Were it not for a bullpen implosion, then the Mets might have secured a first series sweep since the end of...
