Winter is officially in the books. Even if the weather on the East Coast is still in the 40s. Baseball began Wednesday night with the Yankees defeating the Giants 7-0, kicking off an exciting 2026 season. The Dodgers still have a target on their heads coming off back-to-back World Series rings, and will look to be the first team to three-peat since the Yankees from 1998-2000. Meanwhile, the...
Starling Marte, who hit 37 homers, stole 65 bases and posted a .734 OPS in four years with the Mets, has agreed to a deal with the Royals, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reported Saturday. Terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed, but it is pending a physical. Marte, 37, signed a four-year, $78 million contract with the Mets before the 2022 season and represented the Mets in the All-Star Game...

The New York Mets were able to close the book on the first half of the 20025 MLB season with a series win. Despite failing to clinch the sweep, New York took two out of three from the Royals in Kansas City. As a result, the Mets head into the All-Star break with a 55-42 record. Furthermore, they’ve won seven of their past 11 games and three of the past four series. We will be taking stock...
Many Mets fans thought that once Sean Manaea was re-signed this past offseason, his first inning pitched this season would be the first inning of the year as the Opening Day starter. An oblique injury and multiple setbacks later, his debut came pitching the final innings of the first half instead. The result was a loss in the scorebook, but many more positives than negatives can be taken away...
The first time Mark Vientos came up with the bases loaded Friday, he struck out and broke his bat in frustration. The second time, he hit a go-ahead, three-run double to help lift the Mets to an 8-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. Juan Soto scored from first on the double, sliding around the catcher just ahead of the tag to give the Mets a 4-3 lead in the eighth inning....
Friday, July 11, 2025 • 8:10 PM Kauffman Stadium • Kansas City, MO RHP Kodai Senga (7-3, 1.47) vs. RHP Michael Wacha (4-9, 3.83) SNY The Mets look to end the first half of the season on a strong note against the Kansas City Royals. After beating the Milwaukee Brewers and New York Yankees in consecutive series, the Mets dropped a doubleheader (and the series) to the Baltimore Orioles yesterday....
The vibe surrounding the New York Mets (53-41) would make it seem as if their season is falling apart. Being 12 games above .500 on July 11, just days before the All-Star break, is pretty solid in my mind. That being said, the Mets are 8-15 since June 15. That is tied for the worst mark in baseball over that stretch. The last month or so has shown us that the Mets may need significant...
The week six update of the Major League Baseball Power Rankings is fun, because I get to highlight the best division in baseball: the American League Central. No, really guys. That wasn’t a joke. The AL Central has dominated baseball the last week in a half. The five teams are a combined 31-11 in May, and if you take out the White Sox’s modest 4-5 record, they’re 27-6. Multiple...
Good morning, Mets fans! According to Pat Ragazzo of Sports Illustrated, the Mets discussed a deal with the Royals around the Winter Meetings that would send Starling Marte to Kansas City in exchange for reliever Hunter Harvey. The Mets would have paid down some of Marte’s contract in this situation, but it never gained any traction. The Mets are open to moving Marte and are likely still...
While the Mets look to take care of business in Milwaukee, let’s take a look at what their Wild Card competition will be up to over the weekend. As it stands, New York (87-70) is in a virtual tie with the Arizona Diamondbacks (88-71), though technically percentage points ahead with the tiebreaker in hand. The Atlanta Braves (86-71) are one game back of both teams with a doubleheader...
Entering Thursday, the Mets are tied with the Diamondbacks for the second NL Wild Card and hold a one-game lead over the Braves for the final playoff spot. All three have an off day on Thursday, but multiple other games being played could have implications for the NL Wild Card this weekend. Let’s take a look at them and how they factor into the Mets. Royals vs. Nationals, 1:05 PM ET The...
