As 2026 approaches, the Mets still have plenty of work to do to reshape their roster for the upcoming season. They’ve added and subtracted to their lineup and bullpen; however, they haven’t made many additions to their starting rotation yet. For a team that started the 2025 campaign with the best rotation ERA for the first month (2.24 ERA) and the fourth-worst rotation ERA (5.65) in...
The All-Star break in the baseball season brings many emotions. The exhilaration of the Home Run Derby, the excitement of watching your favorite players duke it out in the only competitive All-Star game across all four sports, then the absolute silence of the two days that follow it. I really loathe the upcoming offseason. There are also preceding events, such as the Futures Game and the Major...

Good morning, Mets fans! On Wednesday, the Mets announced that lefty reliever Danny Young will be placed on the 15-day IL, retroactive to April 27, with a left elbow strain. Along with that move, righty Chris Devenski was selected from Triple-A Syracuse and the recently signed lefty Brooks Raley was transferred to the 60-day IL. Unfortunately, this does not seem like a short-term stint, as Mets...
The Mets didn’t do themselves any favors last night in the wild card on Friday, getting shellacked by the Phillies 12-2 at home. The loss made the wild card race tighter with eight games left to go, and the Mets will have their hands full with two more games against the Phillies before their fateful series in Atlanta. Here is how the other wild card teams performed on Friday night. Atlanta...
Good morning, Mets fans! On Wednesday night, the MLB season officially ended as the Texas Rangers defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 2023 World Series, four games to one. Winning Game 5 of the series by a score of 5-0, the 2023 Rangers gave the franchise their first-ever World Series trophy since its inception in 1961.

The Snakes are alive. And they are well. After dropping the first two games of the National League Championship Series in Philadelphia, the Diamondbacks pulled off two late-inning victories to tie the series at 2-2 in Arizona. Ketel Marte was the hero in Game 3, walking off Craig Kimbrel in the bottom of the ninth for the D’Backs’ first postseason walk-off win since Luis...
Good morning, Mets fans! After a bullpen session on Friday, former Met Max Scherzer told reporters that he was good to go for the ALCS. “I’ve pressed all the buttons I can,” Scherzer said. “I’m ready to go.” Scherzer hasn’t pitched in a month since suffering a strained teres major muscle in his right shoulder, but he pitched well for the Rangers...
Good morning, Mets fans! With their 96th win on Wednesday night, the Atlanta Braves clinched their sixth consecutive National League East title. Atlanta needed every game they could get last season to beat out the Mets down the stretch, but with their 4-1 over the Phillies last night they put the division to bed with 16 games left. The 2023 Braves have become the second quickest to do so as they...
