Good morning, Mets fans! With the Orioles in the Bronx for a series with the Yankees, it marks the first time Pete Alonso has returned to New York since his departure from the Mets this offseason. Prior to Friday’s series opener, Alonso held a 13-minute session with media where he said he never had a final conversation with Steve Cohen or David Stearns before signing with the Orioles. He...
If the Mets were going to make a big splash and add a middle-of-the-order bat via free agency, the expectation was that they’d land either Kyle Tucker or Cody Bellinger given their hole in the outfield that was created by trading Brandon Nimmo to the Texas Rangers for Marcus Semien back in November. The club made a real run at Tucker, reportedly offering him a four-year deal worth $220...

The new year has begun, and most of the big free agents and trade candidates are still available. Jon Heyman of the New York Post and Mark Feinsand of MLB.com broke down where these players stand. Both reporters linked the Mets to multiple players that could slot into either the Mets rotation or outfield. Starting Pitching Another domino is off the board as Tatsuya Imai signs with the Astros on...
Juan Soto sat down with Katherine Hernández on the Siendo Honestos podcast to discuss everything from why he chose the Mets, to his relationship with the players, to where the best Dominican food in NYC is. Soto mentioned that the value of the contracts he had in front of him were very similar and that the differences came more from the fine print. He said in the end it was a family decision...
There’s no hotter hitter in the Mets’ system, and perhaps all of the minor leagues, than 2024 first-round pick and Binghamton Rumble Ponies outfielder Carson Benge. Benge has been everything the Mets could have hoped for and more in his development. In his latest week at the Double-A level, Benge went 9-for-20 with three home runs, a triple, and five RBIs while stealing a base and...
Down five runs in the sixth inning with no signs of life on offense, the Mets (63-50) appeared in line for another lackluster loss. That is, until the offense woke up and almost provided one of the best wins of the 2025 season. But several missed chances and a defensive blunder in extra innings led to not a lackluster loss, but the kind of loss that keeps you up at night. In the series opener...
Ryan Clifford had an explosive week for the Binghamton Rumble Ponies, totaling four home runs and 12 RBIs while batting 12-for-23. He walked a whopping eight times and scored an even crazier 11 runs. Clifford’s OPS has jumped significantly to .864, and he raised his home run total from 17 to 21. He is the first player in the Mets minor leagues this season to cross the 20-home run...
Monday night’s series opener between the Mets (62-45) and Padres (58-49) had the atmosphere of a playoff game you wouldn’t expect from a game in late July. An ejected manager, a home run robbery, a grand slam, an erased four-run lead, a game-tying home run in the ninth, and a walk-off hit were all part of the equation as the Padres beat the Mets 7-6. The beginning of the game was...
Good morning, Mets fans! According to Will Sammon of The Athletic, the Mets are still interested in multiple additions to the bullpen after acquiring lefty reliever Gregory Soto from the Orioles for minor league pitchers Wellington Aracena and Cam Foster Friday morning. Danny Coulombe, Griffin Jax, and David Bednar stand out as potential targets for a team looking to fill its biggest need....
The Mets (60-44) brought their hot bats with them to San Francisco, scoring eight runs in the series opener against the Giants (54-50) in a comfortable 8-1 victory Friday night. The win extends the Mets’ streak to five games and keeps them half a game ahead of the Phillies in the NL East. The Mets scored early and often off of Giants ace Logan Webb, who looked nothing like himself from the...
Each of the Mets’ full-season minor league affiliates played just a three-game series this past week due to the All-Star break. Brandon Sproat looked extremely sharp in his start against Norfolk, tossing five scoreless innings with nine strikeouts. He allowed just one hit and one walk. Sproat has now thrown 23 innings in his last four starts and has not allowed a single run in that span....
