Brandon Nimmo isn’t going to the Hall of Fame. He has never even made an All Star team. Nor did he really even had a signature postseason moment during his 10 year Mets career. But Nimmo will still go down as one of the most unique players in recent Mets history, a favorite of both fans and teammates alike. Whether or not you support the shocking trade of Nimmo to the Texas Rangers, it’s clear...

There was chatter of Brandon Nimmo being traded the past week or two, but we’re not quite sure how many people believed it would actually happen. Then, news broke Sunday the Mets were shipping their longest-tenured player to the Texas Rangers (and $5 million) in exchange for 2B Marcus Semien. To say it took the baseball world by surprise would be an understatement, but it certainly ignited...

There appears to be more movement on the horizon in the New York Mets’ rotation. Early Sunday afternoon, Will Sammon of the Athletic reported that the Mets are temporarily moving left-handed pitcher Sean Manaea to the bullpen.

The New York Mets desperately needed to find a way to get a victory and end their eight game losing streak on Sunday at Citi Field. In a game that felt like an exact blue print copy of Saturday’s game, the Mets reversed the end result as Ryne Stanek pitched a clutch 10th, and Pete Alonso launched a walk-off homer. This culminated in the 5-2 extra-innings victory. Nolan McLean started the...

He was at 70 pitches (53 thrown for strikes) through six, but manager Carlos Mendoza went to the bullpen with the Mets leading 1-0. “Even though there was only 70 pitches, when...
Jonah Tong looked shaky from the start, walking two of his first three batters, prompting an early visit from pitching coach Jeremy Hefner. After the powwow, Tong got Jake Burger to fly to center and was one pitch away from escaping the first inning unscathed. But Josh Jung fought off an 0-2, 96 mph inside fastball for an RBI single to right. Then the dam broke. Alejandro Osuna singled in a run....

Where should we start? The New York Mets (76-71) are in big trouble after being swept in a four-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies. They entered the week with an opportunity to get back into the race for a National League East title. Well, they went ahead and did anything but that. The Mets are now just 1 1/2 games ahead of San Francisco Giants and the Cincinnati Reds for the final...
