Good morning, Mets fans! Major League Baseball is introducing a brand new showcase for top prospects around the league to show off their talent, titled “Spring Breakout.” The event will put each organization’s best prospects against each other in a game that will be part of a doubleheader with a regularly scheduled spring training game. MLB is looking to use this as an...
The New York Mets were swept for a second consecutive series, losing all three games after they led by at least three runs.
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...
The New York Mets (18-20) were looking to claim a series win against the Cincinnati Reds (16-21) on Thursday afternoon. Unfortunately, they have had a tough time in the first inning all year and it happened to them again. The Reds scored four runs in the first against Kodai Senga (4-2, 4.14 ERA) and New York could never catch up as they ended up losing, 5-0. They have now been shut out a major...
The New York Mets (17-18) finished off their three-game set against the Colorado Rockies Sunday afternoon. On a sunny day at Citi Field in Flushing, NY the Mets got woeful pitching and allowed 13 runs in a 13-6 series finale loss. The Mets drop to under .500 for the first time since the beginning of the season. New York’s first inning pitching woes continued. Randal Grichuk launched a...
The New York Mets (15-11) had never had a four-game losing streak with Buck Showalter as manager. That was spoiled Wednesday. On Thursday, they were able to avoid their first five-game losing streak and being swept by the Washington Nationals (9-15) as the offense found a way to rally in the eighth inning for a 9-8 victory. In the win, the Mets offense broke out for 16 hits, and the top five...

Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon has been suspended five games and fined an undisclosed amount by Major League Baseball for trying to hit a fan on Thursday night in Oakland. The confrontation occurred as the team was leaving the visiting dugout following their 2-1 loss to the A’s. Rendon heard the fan heckling him, which led to the situation escalating. Rendon...
The New York Mets made a couple of key roster decisions on Saturday. Per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, Tommy Hunter has been informed that he is going to make the Mets’ Opening Day roster. The righty had a contractural out that he could have exercised if he wasn’t added to the 40-man roster. However, the 36-year-old will now begin the 2023 season in the bigs. The move will become...
The New York Mets are just a week away from opening day 2023 and an opening day in which will be missing a key pitcher in Edwin Diaz who was injured during the World Baseball Classic last week. But it’s “next man up” mentality for the Mets’ bullpen and Buck Showalter still has decisions to make for the last couple of spots. Jimmy Yacabonis, T.J. McFarland, Tommy Hunter, and Jeff Brigham all...
It’s hard to believe, but we are in the last week-and-a-half of spring training with just two weekends left in the spring season, including this weekend.

Saturday’s matchup featured two aces: left-handed pitcher Framber Valdez for the Astros...
