When Juan Soto was asked after the regular season finale why Mets fans should be confident the team can turn things around next year he said “Carson Benge.” MLB Pipeline named the 23-year-old outfielder to its All-Rookie Team late Tuesday, with A.J. Ewing and Nolan McLean earning Second Team honors. Benge started slow, he was slashing .179/.235/.263 on May 2, but the Mets let their...
Good morning, Mets fans! The psychopaths earned honors. Non-psycho Nolan did, too. According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, Alex Cora told the Phillies he’s not going to manage in 2027.

The New York Mets signed off at Citi Field for 2026 in typically frustrating fashion. In what was the final home series of the year, the Mets split with the Phillies, with both teams winning two games apiece. Some inconsistent pitching didn’t help. As a result, the Mets finished the 2026 season 36-45 at home, which sums up just how disappointing this season has been. The team also bid an...
