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! Two weeks to the trade deadline. Rival executives told Bob Nightengale of USA Today that they believe Francisco Lindor will be traded this winter, but will remain a Met through the Aug. 3 trade deadline. Lindor has five years and $160 million left on his contract after this year, making him tough to deal by the deadline. He also has a full no-trade clause. Nightengale...

The team only mustered three hits, all from the bottom of the lineup. Collectively went 0-for-3 with runners in scoring position. Committed three errors. Had a starter allow four runs, including two in...
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...
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...
Friday, July 10, 2026 • 7:50 PM Citi Field • Flushing, NY RHP Sonny Gray (10-1, 2.61) vs. RHP Nolan McLean (6-5, 3.73) Apple TV The Mets look to end the first half the season on a high note! The Mets have won two games in a row, taking the series from the last-place Kansas City Royals. On Wednesday, the Mets had a five-run eighth inning. Yesterday afternoon, the Mets had a no-stress,...
Good morning, Mets fans! The Mets are gearing up to very likely be sellers at the deadline, and Will Sammon of The Athletic has some details on how things could shape up. Specifically, Sammon noted that the Mets could get a strong haul for one of their primary two catchers, though it seems unlikely they would do it. The Mets also have a particular affinity for Torrens because of his defense,...
Sunday, July 5, 2026 • 12:30 PM Truist Park • Atlanta, GA RHP Nolan McLean (5-5, 3.78) vs. LHP Martín Pérez (6-5, 3.27) NBC Peacock The New York Mets have scored three runs in each of their last four games. They have won one of those games by a shutout, lost one close game, and have been blown out twice. Taking a larger step back, the Mets have now lost 12 of their last 14 games. They entered...
It may be Independence Day around the United States for the country’s 25oth birthday, but for the New York Mets, it was Groundhog Day again. In a 14-3 loss to the Atlanta Braves, the team’s 12th in their last 14 games and their third in a row, the Mets committed another bad defensive mistake and showed a continued lack of situational hitting—more of the same since the middle of last...
The New York Mets just couldn’t get anything going offensively in Toronto. The Mets dropped two out of three to the Blue Jays, losing a fifth straight series as a result. They’ve also lost 10 of their last 12 games. Without doubt, the driving force behind the woes in Toronto was a real lack of offense. The lineup was lifeless for most of the series. Yet another clunker from Freddy...
Nolan McLean showed off the whole repertoire Tuesday, striking out three Blue Jays with a curve, one on a slider, one on a fastball and two on sinkers, including Andrés Giménez, who waved at a 97 mph offering with two on and two out to end the second inning. “In my opinion, Nolan’s one of the best pitchers in the game and he also has probably the top stuff in the game, as...
Even the great northern power of Norwegian cheers couldn’t save the Mets from the atrocities that unfolded during Wednesday’s doubleheader. The Vikings stationed in the outfield watched in despair as Nolan McLean, the ace of the Mets’ staff, surrendered six earned runs across six innings. At first, it looked like smooth sailing. McLean cruised through four scoreless innings,...
