After a shutout loss to the Colorado Rockies spelled a series and doubleheader sweep on Sunday, the New York Mets are reportedly making a pair of roster moves. According to Will Sammon of the Athletic, the Mets are designating veteran outfielder Tommy Pham for assignment. They are also signing outfielder Austin Slater. The Pham experience went very poorly for the Mets. After the 38-year-old went...
Updated Post: April 13 at 12:42 pm Per Joel Sherman of the New York Post, the Mets will option Ronny Mauricio to Triple-A Syracuse as the corresponding move to make room for OF Tommy Pham. While nothing is official yet, Mauricio was the odd man out. In just four at-bats in his stint with the team, he had one hit, albeit a massive one, a walk-off hit against the Diamondbacks on April 7. Mauricio...
It has been a quiet start to the year for the majority of the New York Mets’ minor league system, aside from the Double-A Binghamton Rumble Ponies who now sit at 5-2 on the young season. Every other team sits at .500 or worse through the first two weeks of the season, including a woeful start for the High-A Brooklyn Cyclones. The bats were quiet in a three-hit performance for the Triple-A...
Good morning, Mets fans! The Mets’ plan for Tommy Pham is to have him join Triple-A Syracuse soon to face better competition. 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...
Juan Soto’s early-season injury has raised an important question: Which position players are in line for promotions when the Mets call on their minor league depth in 2o26? It’s not a fun topic, but it’s a necessary one. For pitching depth, it’s pretty clear. There are a handful of starters on call in Syracuse, and the same goes for the relievers. For the hitting depth,...
Good morning, Mets fans! The Mets kicked off the 2026 season with a huge home win on Opening Day, defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates 11-7.

Good morning, Mets fans! It’s trade deadline day. Who do you want to see packing their bags? (Besides any visiting in-laws.)

Andy Martino of SNY reported that the Mets have checked...
Good morning, Mets fans! In a conversation with Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times, Evan Longoria made it all but official that he is done with baseball.

Today is Tommy Pham’s 36th birthday, which begs the question: Should the Mets consider bringing him back for a second rodeo in New York? Pham signed a one-year, $6 million deal with the Mets ahead of the 2023 season. After a slow start to his tenure with the club in which he hit .196/.283/.348 through March and April, Pham began heating up as the summer months rolled around. He slashed...
