Good morning, Mets fans! The Mets are set to play a doubleheader today after last night’s game between the Mets and Red Sox was suspended due to inclement weather that persisted well after the game was originally delayed. The game will resume at 2:10 p.m. ET, while the game originally scheduled for 4:10 p.m. ET will be pushed back to 7:10 p.m. ET. The game will resume in the bottom of the...
Good morning, Mets fans! General manager Billy Eppler spoke on Friday about Mark Vientos and why he has not been called up to the major league club yet despite a scorching hot start in Triple-A. Eppler noted that there are several factors that play into it such as Vientos’ development and usage, but said a potential promotion is “definitely on our radar and something we’re...
The New York Mets announced on Saturday evening that they have optioned infielders Brett Baty and Mark Vientos to Triple-A. With the Mets set to play their final spring training game on Sunday, we should start seeing a slew of roster cuts as Opening Day draws ever closer. That process has now started with Baty and Vientos both being sent down. It probably won’t prove popular that Baty has...
Saturday evening at The Ballpark of the Palm Beaches, the New York Mets lost 10-7 to the Washington Nationals after holding a lead going into the bottom of the seventh. John Curtiss took the mound for the Mets, replacing Kodai Senga, who was scratched after he injured his finger in between starts. The Mets were the first team to score in the heavily offensive matchup . Tim Locastro opened the...
Mark Vientos came into spring training with the goal of making the Opening Day roster for the New York Mets. His individual performance on Saturday, March 4 against the Miami Marlins is just another example of what he is capable of. Vientos hit two home runs as the Mets went onto to win 15-4. The number eight prospect in the Mets’ system connected on his first home run in the top of the...
The New York Mets took a short drive down to Jupiter, FL. on Saturday afternoon for a matchup against the Miami Marlins. Right-handed pitcher Justin Verlander was on the mound for the visiting Mets for the first time, going up against left-handed pitcher Jesus Luzardo for the Marlins. Luzardo started off well for the Marlins, allowing just one hit to Mark Vientos in the top of the first and...
Good morning, Mets fans! Abbey Mastracco of The Daily News is reporting that Mets prospect Mark Vientos could be an option anywhere in the infield. Vientos came with three different fielding gloves to player several different positions and could realistically be another first baseman option behind Alonso and current designated hitter Daniel Vogelbach. “I’m ready to play in the big leagues every...

Mark Vientos put together quite an impressive season in 2022, starring for the Syracuse Mets before earning a major league call-up in early September. His efforts were rewarded on Monday when he was named to the International League All-Star team as the representative for the third base position. Vientos, the Mets’ second-round pick in the 2017 MLB Draft, struggled out of the gate this year but...
There was not a lot to be happy about regarding the New York Mets on Saturday evening. New York loss 10-4 in Oakland against the lowly Athletics as their ace, and arguably the best pitcher in baseball (Jacob deGrom), made his worst start since 2019. Furthermore, to make matters worse, the Atlanta Braves defeated the Phillies. So, the Mets’ division lead trimmed back down to just 1.5 games....
When the Mets acquired Darin Ruf from the Giants for four players they hoped he would help with their difficulties against lefties, but that hasn’t happened to this point. Then the Mets called up lefty mashing prospect Mark Vientos as another option, but still no improvement against lefties. All three of Oakland’s starters in the series vs the Mets are left-handed meaning the time...
