The $57 million renovations of Clover Park, the Mets Spring Training facility and home to the St. Lucie Mets, are far behind schedule. Worse yet, due to cost overruns, some of the plans have been altered. The 360-degree concourse is gone. Worse yet, the Little League fields have been scrapped. What did remain was a beautiful state-of-the-art clubhouse for the Mets’ Major Leaguers. With...

Judging from Sandy Alderson’s comments yesterday and the general direction of the team, it’s only natural to question what the team should be doing at the trade deadline and beyond. Mr. Belvedere asks . . . Can Sandy Alderson save the season? Antonio M asks . . . Where do you see the best fit for dealing Wheeler or Matz, and what would be a fair return? @Cuso_ says . . . Right now, the Mets...
According to Anthony Dicomo of MLB.com, the Mets have re-claimed LHP P.J. Conlon off waivers from the Dodgers. The lefty was DFA’d by the Mets less than a week ago to make room on the 40-man roster, and was claimed by the Dodgers on Saturday. The 24-year old Belfast native will now return to the Mets and be assigned to Triple-A Las Vegas. Conlon made his big league debut earlier this month, and...
3 UP 1. The Starting Pitching With the Mets having Jacob deGrom going in this series, we knew the Mets were going to get at least one really good start. What we did not know was the team was going to get three. In the entire four game series, Mets starters would surrender just five earned runs in a combined 24.0 innings pitched. In his first start of the season, Seth Lugo allowed no runs over...
In order to make room for the Scott Copeland and Tim Peterson on the 40-man roster, the team made an expected move as well as one that was somewhat surprising. According to Laura Albanese of Newsday, the team transferred Juan Lagares to the 60-day DL and also DFA’d left-hander P.J. Conlon. Lagares was unsurprising considering he is expected to miss the rest of the season with a torn...
Good morning New York Mets fans, the Mets were defeated by the Atlanta Braves 7-6 on Tuesday night at SunTrust Park as the bullpen collapsed again. Tonight, the Mets send Jason Vargas to the mound against Julio Teheran as they look to even the series in the last game of the road trip. First pitch is scheduled for 7:35 p.m. at SunTrust Park.

The New York Mets (26-25) defeated the Atlanta Braves (31-22) by a score of 8-5 Monday night (and Tuesday morning) at SunTrust Park. Offense After a nearly three-hour rain delay, the Mets got things going quickly in the top of the first inning against Brandon McCarthy. After Brandon Nimmo grounded out to open the ballgame, Michael Conforto roped a base hit to right field. Jay Bruce then dropped...
In what has been a news-filled early afternoon for the Mets, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports that the Mets will be sending Kevin Plawecki, Hansel Robles, and Gerson Bautista to Atlanta with the team, with all of them being options for activation. Plawecki would almost certainly replace Tomas Nido on the roster. With Plawecki having played four games at Las Vegas over the past week on a rehab...
The Mets have decided, with a doubleheader tomorrow, to send down Chris Flexen and recall a fresh arm in the form of P.J. Conlon., according to Tim Britton of The Athletic. Flexen almost certainly would have been unavailable for either game after throwing 57 pitches in yesterday’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers. On top of it, he was pretty dreadful as he allowed seven runs (three...
3 UP 1. Rosario Heating Up With the Mets heading out to the Great American Ballpark, it was expected the Mets bats would awaken. Well, that theory did prove true for one batter – Amed Rosario. In the series, Rosario would go 4-for-9 with two doubles and his first stolen base of the year. Even better news is this may not just be an isolated hot streak. As noted on Fangraphs, Rosario is...
The Mets announced Tuesday that they have recalled right-handed pitcher Corey Oswalt from Triple-A Las Vegas. In a corresponding move, the team has sent down left-hander P.J. Conlon. Oswalt, 24, got a cup of coffee with the Mets last month, getting into one game and tossing 4.2 innings and yielding two runs. Conlon, 24, started Monday night’s game for the Mets and tossed 3.2 innings,...
