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...
The Mets are designating Jose Siri for assignment, the team announced Wednesday. This move is being made in conjunction with the team activating Tyrone Taylor from the injured list. It was a lost year for Siri, who made just 36 plate appearances in a Met uniform. Siri suffered a fractured left tibia after fouling a ball off his shin against the Athletics on April 12. He returned to the lineup...
Top prospects Jett Williams and Carson Benge showed why they were first-round picks Friday. Williams (14th pick, 2022) went 2-for-5 with his sixth Triple-A homer and a double, and Benge (19th pick, 2024) went 4-for-4 with a triple, two RBIs and a stolen base in Syracuse’s 8-1 victory over Lehigh Valley. Triple-A Syracuse Mets (76-72) 8, Lehigh Valley IronPigs (86-60) 1 Box Score 2B Jett...
Tyrone Taylor, who was placed on the 10-day injured list with a hamstring strain on September 2, is beginning a rehab assignment with Triple-A Syracuse. He’ll play center field and bat second tonight in-between Jett Williams and Ryan Clifford for the affiliate as they take on the Lehigh Valley IronPigs in the final series of the regular season. Taylor had been sitting out while dealing...
Are the New York Mets back? It sure feels that way after a statement sweep of the Phillies. The Mets got big-time offensive production, not to mention another star turn from their rookie sensation, to take all three games at Citi Field. New York has now won five of six. As a result, it is within four games of the Phillies for the NL East lead. Furthermore, the Mets have moved 4.5 games ahead of...
