Good morning, Mets fans! On Wednesday, the Mets finished off their seven-game homestand with a bang. After a Brett Baty two-run homer off of Zack Wheeler, offense was hard to come by as it was knotted at 2-2 going into the eighth. The Mets’ defense continued to keep them in the game, as Juan Soto gunned out Nick Castellanos at the plate in the eighth inning, eventually sending the game...

If they are, they must remain on the...

Wednesday was not a winning day in the Mets organization, as the four affiliates combined to go 1-4 in the five games that were played, scoring a combined 15 runs.

With the final games of the Arizona Fall League behind, the Mets affiliate team, the Glendale Desert Dogs, finished the season in last place. However, some prospects faired better than others. Below is a final look at how all the Mets’ prospects performed this fall. Hitters Kevin Parada – In 18 games over 75 plate appearances, Parada slashed .186/.240/.371 with three home runs and...
With no clear starter, here’s a look at what the Mets depth chart in left field looks like going into the 2024 offseason.
The New York Mets had very few constants in the 2023 season – and one of them was that center field would be manned by the same player almost day in and day out. For the 2024 season, the Mets will hopefully be in the same position and possibly just be looking for some depth to back him up. Big League Starter Brandon Nimmo had an outstanding 2023 campaign. He played in 152 games, which is a...
The New York Mets had three of their Arizona Fall League representatives in the lineup for the Glendale Desert Dogs Wednesday night against the Surprise Saguaros and none of them were catcher Kevin Parada. Nevertheless, a different Mets prospect stole the show as third baseman Rowdey Jordan had a multi-hit night and drove in three runs in Glendale’s 7-1 win. It was another Met prospect that got...
The Mets sent nine players to the Arizona Fall League, including four position players and five pitchers. While just one of these prospects is in the organization’s top 30 prospects, each has enough talent for intrigue. Some players may have been sent to Arizona to fill out the roster and provide depth, but we’ve seen many of these depth players in recent years still make it to the...
