According to Jon Heyman of MLB Network, the Nationals have signed Asdrubal Cabrera. Mike Puma of the NY Post reported this afternoon that the Mets were “more open” to a reunion with Cabrera after Robinson Cano’s injury, but the veteran infielder is now heading to the Mets’ division rival. Cabrera, 33, was released by the Rangers after batting .235/.318/.393 with 12 homeruns and 51 RBI in 93...
New York Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen talked the talk during his introductory press conference a few weeks ago at Citi Field. We’re now seeing the beginning of him walking the walk, starting with acquiring Robinson Cano and Edwin Diaz in a blockbuster deal that raises the organization’s expectations for 2019.

Todd Frazier tweeted that he is headed back to New York to rejoin the ball club. There has been no indication yet as to whether he will arrive in time for today’s game against the Cubs, let alone whether or not he will be activated before first pitch. The most likely scenario is that he will be activated prior to Tuesdays game against the Orioles. He will be welcomed back profusely as his...

An MMO Fan Shot by Austin Smith Obviously, after the Yoenis Cespedes signing, it’s clear the Mets are all in for not only this year, but for years to come. Before Yoenis chose to come back to New York, we were still an above average team led by our Super-Rotation, with some question marks floating in the lineup. Now, with Cespedes plugged into that number three spot, Terry’s “First Choice...
They say that timing is everything. Perhaps after last night’s surprising announcement that Michael Cuddyer is retiring, thus giving the Mets a tidy financial windfall, maybe we should rethink that Juan Lagares platoon the front office was planning for the 2016 season. Maybe it’s time for the Mets put on their big boy pants and stop saying they can’t afford what it would take...
Last night in Los Angeles, Mets GM Sandy Alderson told reporters that the team has considered promoting outfielder Michael Conforto but that it’s unlikely that it will happen in the near future. “At this point, he’s still in Binghamton and I would expect him to be over there for the near term,” Alderson said. “I don’t want everybody to go out and write that Conforto is coming up here...
