The 2023 season is almost here. Can you believe it?! You know what time it is — prediction time! What record will the Mets end with? Will they make it to the postseason? Take the division? Here’s what we think. John Sheridan Mets Record: 89-73 NL East: Braves NL Central: Cardinals NL West: Padres NL WC: Mets, Phillies, Giants AL East: Blue Jays AL Central: Twins AL West: Astros AL WC:...
We’ve been keeping you up to date on the World Baseball Classic as it happened. Earlier this month, we even shared some of the greatest Mets WBC moments. Now that the tournament’s over, we want to share our favorite moment from this WBC (and we’re not sharing our least favorite moment – because no one wants to relive that). Matt Mancuso It’s difficult to pick just...
This is a roundtable we didn’t want to write. This is a roundtable we didn’t think we’d write. Yet here we are, and it’s a very important question. Edwin Díaz is out for the season following knee surgery. The Mets need to find a new closer. Should it come internally or externally? Can anyone even replace Díaz? What should the Mets do? Here’s what we think. John...
Last week we shared with you whether we thought Justin Verlander or Max Scherzer would be the Opening Day starting pitcher. Of course, now we have to share what we think the Opening Day lineup is going to look like! Here’s our predictions: John Sheridan Brandon Nimmo Starling Marte Francisco Lindor Pete Alonso Jeff McNeil Mark Canha Daniel Vogelbach Eduardo Escobar Omar Narváez Mojo Hill...
It’s already March! Spring training is here. The regular season is right around the corner. We can’t wait. Now for the big question – who’s going to be the Opening Day starting pitcher? With arms like Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer on the team, it’s a tough choice — and arguably one of the best problems to have. Who do you think should start? Here’s...
Mets fans, we’re almost done with the offseason. Spring training is on the horizon. Lots of moves were made (or almost made) this offseason. There was drama. There were nighttime moves. We were kept entertained. So, what grade do we give the Mets offseason? Chris Bello Grade: A- The Mets head into 2023 better than last season. They addressed the rotation by signing three starters,...
With the year coming to an end, it’s time to take a look back at 2022. The Mets season may not have entirely gone as we had planned for, but it was still filled with some memorable moments. What were your favorites? Here are ours. John Sheridan My favorite has been this offseason, the greatest in Mets history. The team re-signed Edwin Díaz and Brandon Nimmo to record deals. They brought in...
Carlos Correa became a New York Met overnight… literally. We all know the story by now but when something this big happens, you can’t help but talk about it for days, right?

The holidays are here! Steve Cohen has already gotten Mets fans a bunch of gifts and we’re so grateful. But what’s the one thing still on our Mets list? John Sheridan Michael Conforto Conforto was a Met through and through. We’ve seen him come through in big moments. He fills the need for a left fielder and a power bat. On that we should note the Mets brought in the right field...
Just a couple of days ago we were sharing our very unhappy reactions to Jacob deGrom no longer being a Met. Thankfully, Steve Cohen works fast, and now we have Justin Verlander. So, what are our thoughts on this? Naturally, they’re much happier and more positive than our last roundtable! John Sheridan The Mets had given out the highest AAV to Max Scherzer before topping it by signing...
Jacob deGrom is no longer a Met. Man, that’s hard to write. I’m still in disbelief and it’s only been a day. As I pour my second glass of wine, I asked my fellow Metsmerized writers for their in the moment reactions to the news, and here’s some real raw emotion for ya, Mets fans. Michael Garaffa The deGrom news came as a semi-surprise for me. I was definitely not...
The 2022 Mets season didn’t end the way we want it to but we did have some fun along the way, right Mets fans?
