The New York Mets showed plenty of good and bad after splitting a series with the Nationals. After exploding offensively in the opener, the Mets dropped back-to-back clunkers in Washington. However, the team was able to claw out a win in the finale to avoid dropping the series. As has often been the case recently, there was a mixture of positives and negatives from the four games against the...
The Mets failed to handle the baseball with care on Tuesday. Tyrone Taylor lost sight of it. Marcus Semien bobbled it and threw it wildly. Luis Torrens didn’t catch it (twice). The irresponsibility came at the worst time. With two outs and the bases loaded in the second inning, James Wood drove an 85 mph Nolan McLean sweeper 379 feet to the left-field wall. Nick Morabito, making his MLB...
Good morning, Mets fans! Best win of the year! RIP to the streak of losing when trailing after eight innings. It died Sunday at 91 games. Tyrone Taylor hit a game-tying, three-run homer just inside the left-field foul pole with the Mets down to their last out against Yankee closer David Bednar. The Mets walked it off in the 10th when Carson Benge bounced a ball on the infield and Marcus Semien...
After a big win in the second game of the series, the New York Mets’ pitching and defense almost foiled their afternoon Sunday. However, huge hits and a comeback not seen in almost two years propelled the Mets to a series win, taking the home portion of the Subway Series 7-6 and finishing a strong 5-1 homestand. The Mets are now six games under .500, but with all the momentum on their...
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,...
Everything appeared to click for the New York Mets on the West Coast. After a disappointing start to the road trip, the Mets took three out of four from the Giants in San Francisco. All in all, they finished their first road trip of the year 4-3. Furthermore, several encouraging trends emerged from the series against the Giants. The pitching continued to look strong, while the offense showed...
Juan Soto was placed on the 10-day injured list retroactive to Saturday, April 4, with a right calf strain that he suffered while running the bases on Friday, the team announced Monday. “A typical return for this type of injury is approximately 2-3 weeks,” read the team announcement on X. Infielder Ronny Mauricio was recalled from Triple-A. He had a great spring training (10-for-32,...
For a second consecutive game, the Mets’ lineup was missing Juan Soto. Yet, despite Carlos Mendoza penning a B-level lineup, he received S-tier results. Without Soto, Luis Robert Jr., and Francisco Alvarez taking an at-bat, the Mets offense jumped all over Landen Roupp and company, defeating the Giants Saturday night 9-0. The lineup was anchored Saturday night by the bottom of the lineup....
The New York Mets accumulated 0.7 fWAR from the center field position in 2025, which ranked 26th in the majors. Luis Robert Jr., for all his faults and struggles last year, was worth 1.3 fWAR by himself in just 110 games. He is a clear upgrade for the Mets at a position where it was desperately needed. But it goes far beyond WAR. Robert is a perfect fit for the 2026 Mets roster as it currently...
The Mets added a Gold Glove outfielder (run prevention!) and, with Luis Robert Jr. in the fold, let’s take a look at the state of the everyday lineup exactly one month before the spring training opener. Robert will patrol center field, where he was seven outs above average (93rd percentile) in 110 games for Chicago in 2025. If the Mets go with Tyrone Taylor in left, they will cover a ton...
Good morning, Mets fans! The Mets agreed to a one-year, $3.8 million contract with Tyrone Taylor to avoid arbitration. Taylor’s 2025 season was a disappointment as he owned just a .598 OPS, though he continued to bring stellar defense. Taylor is likely to begin 2026 as the Mets’ fourth outfielder, with the Mets actively seeking an upgrade over him in center field. Latest Mets News...
Updated Post: Nov. 21 at 5:25 p.m. EST MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo reported that left-handed reliever José Castillo has been non-tendered by the Mets, making him the club’s third and final player to suffer that fate. New York acquired Castillo in a trade from the Arizona Diamondbacks in May. He was designated by assignment on three occasions by the team, but it wasn’t until...
