Latest news and updates about the Mets
Meet the Mets Worried that the Mets will be spending less money on payroll in 2026? Steve Cohen loudly and publicly refuted those suggestions yesterday. The Mets remain interested in acquiring more pitching help and another bat this offseason. The Defector’s David Roth meditated about the changing of the guard that has occurred with the […]
The last on the list is David Wright. It is his third time on the ballot. He was on 6.2% of the ballots the first time and 8.1% the second time. I really thought he would do much better than that. Wright played for the Mets for 14 seasons, hitting .296/.376/.491 with 242 home runs […]
Let’s not kid ourselves, there was not much player activity at last week’s MLB Winter Meetings in Orlando, Fla. However, the buzz surrounding a potential blockbuster trade between the San Diego Padres and New York Mets has lingered far longer than expected. For a brief moment, the rumors allowed the Friar Faithful to fantasize about […]
Meet the Mets The Mets held their annual holiday party yesterday at Citi Field. Clay Holmes served as Santa Claus, while a trio of young Mets hurlers—Nolan McLean, Brandon Sproat, and Jonah Tong—were the elves. Tong reiterated that he loves being a Mets, saying, “It’s truly one of the coolest things I’ve ever done in […]
In the Mets’ quest to remake the bullpen after the utter disaster it was in 2024, they signed Devin Williams, former Yankees reliever who had a down season after years of excellence, looking to bring him back to his former glory. And after that signing, and their 2024 signing of Clay Holmes, another former Yankees […]
There’s something about baseball and fatherhood.* *I know this is extraordinarily early to put a caveat in a piece like this, but I want to acknowledge two things up front. First of all, saying ’there’s something about baseball and fatherhood’ does not exclude nor negate all the other wonderful ways that folks get into baseball […]
Meet the Mets The Mets are reportedly signing former-Yankee Luke Weaver to a two-year deal worth $22 million. Weaver should help solidify the back end of the bullpen along with Devin Williams. They also claimed catcher Drew Romo off waivers, and DFA-ed Brandon Waddell as the cooresponding move. Both Nolan McLean and Clay Holmes will […]

The Yankees continue to bide their time, and we’ll have to continue to hope they’re just waiting to pounce. Yesterday, we saw the Yankees-to-Mets pipeline strengthen even further, Luke Weaver defecting to Queens for two years and $22 million. The Mets have now successfully recreated the Yankees’ late-inning combo from the first half of the […]
Everyone’s favorite pitching target for negativity had another “typical” season in the eyes of the fanbase. Each of his outings was viewed through fingers and hands placed in front of eyes, or they weren’t viewed at all. Many people might choose to go out on a date night the times when Walker was scheduled to […]
The Mets have claimed catcher Drew Romo off of waivers from the Orioles. Romo, a former first round pick and top prospect, was claimed by the Orioles off waivers earlier this offseason but couldn’t survive the churn on their 40-man. Now he gets a chance to stick things out on the back of the Mets […]

At […]
Get a new bit, Mets. Weeks after signing Devin Williams in wake of the the Airbender’s tricky season in the Bronx and one offseason removed from signing Juan Soto and Clay Holmes, that other New York team has come to terms with yet another erstwhile Yankee. This time, it’s reliever Luke Weaver going to Queens […]
The Mets are working toward a deal with free agent reliever Luke Weaver, according to reporting by Joel Sherman of the New York Post. Once finalized, the deal will be for two years and $22 million.

Meet the Mets Part of Edwin Díaz’s decision to go with the Dodgers was the Mets’ refusal to meet some of his contract demands. And now, after the historic collapse and the losses of Díaz and Alonso, David Stearns is taking the chance to remake the Mets. The Mets are reportedly very interested in free […]
Edwin Díaz was facing the Dodgers as the star closer for the New York Mets during the 2024 NLCS. Just over a year later, and Díaz is the newest face of the Dodgers’ bullpen as their star closer. The race for Díaz ultimately came down to three teams; the Dodgers offered Díaz a three-year deal […]

MLB RUMORS — Munetaka Murakami, the younger, homer-happy free agent slugger from Japan with strikeout issues, has until December 22 at 4pm CT to sign with a big league team. If he doesn’t, he’ll have to head back to Japan. So … how come there are literally NO rumors about his potential interests or suitors? Even Ken Rosenthal, who still expects Murakami to land a deal before time expires next Monday, concedes that “his destination remains a mystery.” It’s pretty odd, especially now that ...
