It’s been a slow start to the season in the Mets’ minor leagues, as three of the organization’s four minor league affiliates have losing records. But that doesn’t mean all is bad. Two of the highlights of the early season so far are Elian Peña and Chris Suero. Suero leads the organization in OPS early on and has looked like one of the best position players on the farm,...
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...
Charlotte Knights (68-79) 4, Syracuse Mets (78-71) 5 BOX SCORE The Syracuse Mets concluded their season in walk-off fashion, defeating the Charlotte Knights 5-4 in 10 innings. With their win, Syracuse finished the 2024 season with a 78-71 record, a disappointing mark given their first-half successes. However, it’s a vast improvement from their 61-85 record in 2023. 2B Brett Baty: 0-for-3,...
The Mets (82-68) began their final homestand of the year with a poor offensive showing, continuing the team’s recent stretch of unproductivity. But with Grimace in the building, the Mets found some late-inning magic and defeated the Nationals (68-82) 2-1 in 10 innings. Washington starter Jake Irvin (10-12, 4.07 ERA) feasted on the Mets’ lineup in his third start against them this...
Sunday marked the end of the season in Brooklyn and St. Lucie. While Brooklyn finished their season with a win, helped by a fantastic night at the plate from Boston Baro, who recorded three extra-base hits, St. Lucie lost despite leading by two heading into the ninth inning. In the upper minor leagues, Syracuse and Binghamton both played one-run games, with the Mets falling in a high-scoring...
Sunday’s action in the Mets minor leagues saw two wins (Syracuse and Brooklyn) and two losses (Binghamton and St. Lucie). It was a low-scoring day, as the highest-scoring matchup among the four games was a 5-4 affair in St. Lucie. Among the best individual performances of the day were in Syracuse, where top prospects Drew Gilbert and Brandon Sproat played a pivotal part in the Mets’...
Sunday’s action in the Mets Minor Leagues featured two wins and two losses. The wins occurred in Double-A and Low-A, with the Binghamton Rumble Ponies and St. Lucie Mets prevailing. Meanwhile, the Triple-A and High-A teams, the Syracuse Mets and Brooklyn Cyclones, both gave up double-digit runs in a pair of losses. One of the day’s highlights was a grand slam for St. Lucie off the...
Sunday was a very unusual day in the Mets’ minor leagues. The Syracuse Mets played a normal game, while the Binghamton Rumble Ponies and Brooklyn Cyclones each played doubleheaders. Meanwhile, the St. Lucie Mets were supposed to play a doubleheader, but poor weather canceled both games. Lack of offense was the story of the day, as the top three affiliates scored more than two runs just...
Perhaps the biggest storyline in the Mets minor leagues on Sunday was reliever Sean Reid-Foley making a rehab appearance with the Brooklyn Cyclones. Reid-Foley struggled, but what matters most is how he feels physically. He was fantastic earlier this year for the Mets, posting a 1.66 ERA in 21 2/3 innings before his injury. Despite Reid-Foley’s rocky outing, Brooklyn took the victory....
It was a shortened week in the minor leagues as teams returned from the midseason break. Each Mets affiliate team played just a three-game series compared to the usual six games. The Syracuse Mets swept their series, while the St. Lucie Mets got swept in theirs. The Binghamton Rumble Ponies and Brooklyn Cyclones lost their series, making Syracuse the only team to win at least two of their three...
Sunday was not kind to the Mets’ minor league affiliates, as just the Syracuse Mets won their matchup while Binghamton, Brooklyn, and St. Lucie all lost. The highlight of the day was Boston Baro, MMO’s no. 18 ranked Mets prospect, going 4-for-6 with two doubles in St. Lucie’s loss. The 2023 eighth-round draft pick has been solid in his first full professional season, owning a...
With the minor league season (full-season teams) set to resume on Friday, it’s a good idea to check out where each of the Mets’ affiliates stand through the first half of the minor league season. While the second half has technically started for each of these teams in terms of the standings, the All-Star break is a good stopping point to check in on what’s happened during the...
