The New York Mets suffered not one but two walk-off losses against the White Sox. Both losses were nail-biters, while the Mets’ only win of the series featured a home run explosion. Still, it was a crushing way to lose a series. Although there were plenty of positives to take from Chicago, the Mets are now 59-72 on the year. On that note, let’s recap everything from the White Sox...
Oh, those home run balls. The bullpen has been excellent since the trade deadline, but the White Sox got to it Friday when Jake Rogers hit a two-out, two-run walk-off home run off of Jefry Yan for a 6-4 victory at Rate Field. The Mets (58-71) led 4-0 through five innings and Sean Manaea was rolling, but Chicago (67-61) got to him in the sixth. He coughed up back-to-back-to-back homers to Miguel...

They are fresh off of a series win against the Padres and have won 11 of their last 15 games. They are now only 2 1/2 games back of the Nationals for fourth place in the division.

Since the trade deadline, the New York Mets (58-70) have the best record in baseball. They’ve gone 11-4 across that span, sweeping the Cleveland Guardians and the Washington Nationals over that stretch. It’s been evident that they are playing more free, and as a result, their confidence is growing with every win. That will be put to the test against the Chicago White Sox (66-61), a...
The AL and NL MVP awards have run through two names the past couple seasons: Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani. But with Judge hurt in the AL, a new name has emerged as a favorite for the 2026 adaptation. Ben Rice has dominated the majors this season. And sure, we’ve highlighted the first baseman numerous times through the power rankings on Metsmerized.com. But it’s June. This is...
Something’s brewing in Miami. The fish ripped off a six-game win streak last week, securing a .500 record for the first time since April 24. The streak started with impressive wins over the first-place Tampa Bay Rays, then they beat up on equal opponents in the Diamondbacks and Pirates. Miami is certainly an interesting team to watch as the league approaches the mid-summer classic. They...
Good morning, Mets fans! Manager Carlos Mendoza appeared on Foul Territory Friday. He spoke about Luis Robert Jr., calling the new Met “one of the best” when healthy. The Mets will hope their new center fielder can stay healthy and tap into his potential, which would give the team a massive boost in 2026. Latest Mets News SNY Director John DeMarsico announced on Twitter that he is...

The New York Mets couldn’t go for the kill against the White Sox. Having carved out a four-game winning streak, including taking the first two from Chicago, the Mets dropped the series finale at Citi Field. It wasn’t a straightforward series win by any means, and clinching the sweep would have been ideal. But, still, the Mets did what they had to do and are now 12 games over .500. To...
On a dreary Wednesday afternoon for the Mets, there was one clear silver lining: Brandon Nimmo. While the Mets struggled in a loss to the Chicago White Sox, a game fans would rather erase from memory, Nimmo quietly delivered a very complete performance – two hits, two runs and two walks. He accounted for 40% of the Mets’ total hit output on the day. Nimmo wasted no time getting involved, lining...
The Mets (33-21) still aren’t right offensively, and they haven’t been for a while, but they’ve been recording some gritty wins lately, which is what good teams do. After being shut down for the first seven innings of Monday’s game against old friend Adrian Houser and the White Sox (17-37), the Mets rallied late and secured a tough 2-1 walk-off win. The Mets’...
The Mets are set to add some infield depth, as the New York Post’s Joel Sherman has reported that the team is signing Nick Madrigal, who passed his physical, to a one-year deal worth $1.35 million that includes up to $500,000 in performance bonuses. Madrigal will play on a split contract, meaning that the Mets don’t have to add him to the 40-man roster and that he’ll earn a...
