Pham has been with Low-A St. Lucie getting reps in after not being with a team during spring training. The Mets signed Pham, who had previously been with the team in 2023, to a minor league deal on Opening Day. He could soon see himself part of the equation on the...
There’s no hotter hitter in the Mets’ system, and perhaps all of the minor leagues, than 2024 first-round pick and Binghamton Rumble Ponies outfielder Carson Benge. Benge has been everything the Mets could have hoped for and more in his development. In his latest week at the Double-A level, Benge went 9-for-20 with three home runs, a triple, and five RBIs while stealing a base and...
Ryan Clifford had an explosive week for the Binghamton Rumble Ponies, totaling four home runs and 12 RBIs while batting 12-for-23. He walked a whopping eight times and scored an even crazier 11 runs.

His play helped secure the Syracuse Mets a series win in the final series before the All-Star break....
Drew Gilbert had a scorching week at the plate for the Syracuse Mets, going 6-for-17 with three home runs and six RBIs. He also stole a base.

Gilbert was the best among several great individual performances in the...

Good morning, Mets fans! Sean Manaea looked fantastic in his rehab start in Triple-A on Friday. The lefty tossed 5 1/3 innings, allowing just one run on two hits, no walks and seven strikeouts.
