Another of the New York Mets’ high-level pitching prospects was shipped off on Sunday, as the team sent right-hander Tyler Bashlor to the Pittsburgh Pirates for cash considerations. Bashlor, 27, was designated for assignment on July 28 to make room for left-handed starter David Peterson on the Mets’ 40-man roster. Over five minor league seasons, the Savannah, Georgia product pitched...

Peterson, 24 and the Mets’ first-round draft pick in 2017 (20th overall), was selected from the team’s alternate training site in Brooklyn on Tuesday and will make his major league debut on...
After today’s contest, the Mets have optioned RHP Corey Oswalt to their alternate training site at MCU Park in Brooklyn. A corresponding move has yet to be announced. Oswalt had the unfortunate duty of soaking up four frames of work after Rick Porcello’s abbreviated debut. In his four innings, he was drubbed to the tune of seven hits, five runs, and three home runs. This was...
Good Morning, Mets fans! Before we get into the baseball news, I just want to say that I hope everyone reading this is doing well during this difficult time, mentally and physically. Times like these can really test people’s limits and I hope everyone is staying safe and practicing social distancing, so that together we can flatten the curve and get baseball back sooner rather than later!...

Phil Regan went from a mostly unknown minor league pitching coordinator to a beloved pitching coach for the New York Mets in a very short span. Regan, only 82 and former teammate of Sandy Koufax, was seen as a key contributor to a Mets’ staff ERA that went from 4.88 in the first half all the way down to 3.48 in the second half. The former right-handed big league pitcher was named the Mets...

After Thursday night’s 16-inning, 3-2 loss to San Francisco in which six New York Mets relievers (Seth Lugo, Luis Avilan, Edwin Diaz, Jeurys Familia, Robert Gsellman, and Justin Wilson) held the Giants scoreless once Noah Syndergaard left after seven innings of one-run ball, this bullpen needs all the help it can get. As per a team announcement, the Mets have recalled right-handed...
The New York Mets have added right-handed reliever Tyler Bashlor as their 26th man for the second game on Friday night. Each team is allowed to call up a 26th player because they technically have two games scheduled.

As per a team announcement, the New York Mets have activated utility man Jeff McNeil off the 10-day injured list (hamstring) and inserted him back atop the batting order for the series opener versus San Francisco on Tuesday at Citi Field.

3 UP 1. Offense Awakens Entering the series, the Dodgers had the best pitching staff in baseball, and the Mets had a lineup full of players much better suited to bench roles or starting in Triple-A. Honestly, you would not expect the Mets bats to break out and obliterate the Dodgers pitching, but that’s what happened. The Mets averaged 6.7 runs per game in the first three games of this...
Mets’ manager Mickey Callaway addressed the media at Citi Field prior to Tuesday’s game vs. the Washington Nationals and talked about the progress of starter Jason Vargas, outfielder Michael Conforto, the possibility of first baseman Dominic Smith playing outfield and what Seth Lugo’s absence from the bullpen means for the rest of the relief corps. Vargas to Throw Bullpen...
