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...
Pete Alonso headlines the list of Mets set to hit free agency this offseason, but a host of others who finished the year in New York could be on the move, too. With the Los Angeles Dodgers capturing a second-straight World Series championship Saturday night, players who qualify are officially slated to become free agents Sunday. Then, five days after the conclusion of the World Series, November...

That’s it. It’s over. The 2025 New York Mets are officially done for the year. Heading into Miami with their destiny in their own hands, the Mets fumbled the bag in the biggest way possible. They lost two out of three to the Marlins to miss out on the playoffs. While this team has been imploding for the last three-plus months, the way events unfolded this weekend will likely leave a...
The Mets entered Citizens Bank Park on Thursday in desperate need of a spark. For a fleeting moment, it looked like they had one. New York opened Thursday night with exactly the kind of inning they’ve been looking for. Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto wasted no time, starting with two singles against Phillies southpaw Jesús Luzardo. Both then stole bases, and suddenly the Mets had two runners in...
Consider this weekend a golden opportunity wasted by the New York Mets. Taking two out of three, or even sweeping the series against the Reds, would have all but closed the door on Cincinnati’s postseason chances. Instead, the Mets dropped two of three in another frustrating weekend. As a result, the NL East race looks all but over. Furthermore, the race for the playoffs is far from being...
Overall, it was mission accomplished in Detroit for the New York Mets. They took two out of three from the Tigers, who are now the second-best team in the American League. However, another bad outing from a struggling reliever ensured a series sweep was a bridge too far. Nonetheless, the Mets rebounded from an embarrassing series loss to the Marlins and took care of business against a very good...
It wouldn’t be a weekend series without experiencing a frustrating New York Mets loss. Entering the three-game series against the Braves on a two-game losing streak, the Mets won the first two games to win the series and get back to winning ways. However, any positive momentum was halted on Sunday thanks to a sloppy loss to Atlanta in the finale. As a result, we were reminded of all of...
It can’t get any worse for the New York Mets, can it? It sure feels like this team has now hit rock bottom. If this isn’t rock bottom, then I dread to think what the next few weeks may have in store. The Mets blew two leads on the way to being swept in Milwaukee by the Brewers over the weekend. It sure got ugly at times. As a result, New York has now lost seven straight and 11 of its...
Saturday, August 9, 2025 • 7:10 PM American Family Field • Milwaukee, WI RHP Reed Garrett (3-4, 2.51) vs. RHP Tobias Myers (1-1, 4.30) SNY The Mets look to snap a five-game losing streak tonight in Milwaukee. Last Monday, the Mets had a chance in the ninth inning to complete the comeback. Out of an abundance of caution (plus knowing that Juan Soto and Pete Alonso could still come to bat), the...
Good morning, Mets fans! Prior to Friday’s game, Carlos Mendoza spoke to reporters about Tylor Megill, who threw a bullpen session on Thursday. Per Mendoza, Megill is getting closer to starting a rehab assignment. Before going on the injured list, Megill was 5-5 with a 3.95 ERA on the year. Latest Mets News The Mets (63-53) lost to the Brewers (71-44) 3-2 on Friday night, ending the game...
Trade deadline season is fully upon us, and teams are interested not just in the Mets’ farm system, but at least one player on their active roster. According to Mike Puma of the New York Post, opposing clubs have been asking the Mets about outfielder/designated hitter Starling Marte. It’s not the first time that Marte’s name has been discussed in trades, as David Stearns...
