The Triple-A Syracuse Mets exploded for 18 runs in their win on Tuesday, including 14 runs in the seventh inning. Trayce Thompson homered, doubled and knocked in six runs in the inning. The Florida Complex League Mets had their own fun at the plate, scoring 15 runs behind homers by Simón Juan and Willy Fañas. Despite all that offense, the biggest story for the Mets is likely the dominant...

The Rumble Ponies have already been forced to move the start time to 1 p.m. due to rain in the forecast. Should the game against Akron go ahead, it would mark the latest and last step in...
Mets ace Jacob deGrom will throw a simulated game in Port St. Lucie Tuesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reported. It’s another positive step in the right direction towards deGrom returning to the Mets. He made three rehab starts after going nearly a year without pitching in a competitive game. His first two were for Low-A St. Lucie, while his third was for Triple-A Syracuse. He slowly ramped...
One of the reasons New York Mets top prospect Francisco Álvarez remains in the minors is his need to continue his development as a backstop. If the Mets’ aces are to be believed, he’s made tremendous strides as a receiver. On June 30, Max Scherzer made his second rehab start with Double-A Binghamton. The primary focus was on Scherzer’s rehab and just how quickly he could return to the...

In his first, he struck out five of the six batters he faced and...
When the Mets signed Max Scherzer to a three year, $130 million contract this past offseason, they knew what they were getting. An eight-time All-Star, a three time Cy Young award winner, a World Series champion and most importantly, a great teammate. The 2021 Mets lacked a leader, or at least someone to keep the room together and the result was an erratic season with no one to steer the ship....
