Good morning, Mets fans! Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns introduced the Mets two biggest offseason signings to the club via Zoom on Wednesday afternoon. Among some of the better quotes in the press conference were in regards to Harrison Bader, as Stearns noted that he expects him to play a majority of the games at center field which would kick Brandon Nimmo to left field for...
At 42-48, the New York Mets’ 2023 season is on the rocks at the season’s artificial midway point. Pete Alonso was the team’s lone All-Star before injury replacements, and he was a commissioner selection to give the Mets one representative. That is emblematic of the across-the-board underachievement of this Mets team. Finding three ups for the whole pre-All-Star break slate was...
The New York Mets were swept for a second consecutive series, losing all three games after they led by at least three runs.
The New York Mets (30-30) looked to avoid being swept by the Toronto Blue Jays and finish the homestand on a positive note before heading down to Atlanta for an important divisional series. New York sent Kodai Senga to the mound on four days rest after his best start of his major league career against the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday night. However, at Citi Field on Sunday afternoon, the...
When the New York Mets are in a funk, it’s often as hard for a writer to put pen to paper (or to type the words) as it is for the reader to focus on them. The weekend series against the Nationals seemed to have the possibility of finally giving some cause for optimism after the Mets won two of the first three. Alas, the series was a wraparound, and David Peterson killed that dream faster...
After a rainout fiasco, followed by a subsequently suspended game in Washington D.C. on Saturday, the New York Mets (19-21) and Washington Nationals resumed their game early Sunday afternoon. In the first game of the doubleheader at National Park which began at 12:35 pm ET, the Mets were unable to successfully mount any of their numerous comeback attempts losing the game 3-2. New York will hope...
The New York Mets selected the contract of RHP Jimmy Yacabonis and recalled RHP José Butto from Triple-A on Saturday, the franchise announced. In corresponding moves, the team DFA’d Dennis Santana and placed Stephen Nogosek on the 15-day IL with a right elbow bone bruise. A standout in Spring Training, Yacabonis was signed to a minor-league contract this winter. He’s appeared in four...
On Sunday afternoon at Citi Field, the New York Mets (5-5) were hoping for a three-game sweep over their divisional-foes, the Miami Marlins (4-6). However, thanks in large part to another woeful outing from Carlos Carrasco, the Mets fell behind early and were unable to take advantage of a multitude of opportunities (2-for-12 with runners in scoring position and 10 left on base). This resulting...
The New York Mets announced another round of cuts this morning. The team announced that relievers T.J. McFarland and Jimmy Yacabonis were assigned to minor league camp, while former Marlins’ bullpen piece Jeff Brigham was formally optioned to Triple-A. This leaves John Curtiss, Stephen Nogosek, Dennis Santana, and Elieser Hernández fighting for the three remaining bullpen spots. Both...
Thursday’s friendly matchup between the Mets and the Venezuelan World Baseball Classic team started with a bang and ended with a 6-4 win for the national team at Clover Park in Port St. Lucie. On playing for his country’s team, Mets third baseman and Team Venezuela member Eduardo Escobar said that wearing his country’s uniform is “very important for me, because you want to...
One of the more intriguing position groups to watch entering spring training is the bullpen. As we referenced in our article earlier today, citing Zack Britton as a potential option, the unit is getting closer and closer to becoming a complete. Though, given teams usually carry around seven-to-eight relief pitchers, a spot or two may still exist. For context, here is how the unit currently...
Baseball projections wait for no one—not even Carlos Correa. Dan Szymborski of FanGraphs released the ZiPS projections for the 2023 Mets. Given the uncertainty of the Correa situation but reports that the Mets are still his most likely destination (at the time ZiPS was published), ZiPS has included Correa as a “maybe” member of the Mets’ lineup. Though you can read the entire...
