The New York Mets welcome the Pittsburgh Pirates to Citi Field for the first series of 2026. For approximately three hours, confined to just one small section of Flushing, all is right with the world again. Well, depending on the outcome. The Mets are coming off a disappointing season where they just barely missed the […]
Last year’s National League East race ended with the Phillies (96-66) winning their second consecutive division crown, while the Mets (83-79) and Braves (76-86) both underperformed expectations and missed the playoffs entirely. The Marlins (79-83), meanwhile, came close to .500 as they showed promise and play a key role in ending the Mets’ postseason dreams […]

Ahead of Opening Day, the team finalized its roster with Richard Lovelady and Jared Young grabbing the final two spots. Freddy Peralta gets the honor of starting Opening Day, […]
There’s no better Mets tradition than tuning in to hear Gary, Keith, and Ron calling the team’s first game of the season. Unfortunately, Major League Baseball decided to make a deal that delays that joyous occasion until the Mets’ second game of the year, as the team’s Opening Day game against the Pirates is going […]
The Mets announced their 26-man roster for Opening Day earlier today. The Mets are carrying 13 pitchers and 13 position players, and there are no real surprises on the list, though the make-up of the bullpen has a somewhat unexpected choice or two.

It’s finally here. No not the start of the regular season, the end of our offseason grades. Priorities, people. Moves we graded We broke down the eight major moves the Mets made this offseason while also consolidating the bevvy or smaller additions: By and large, these grades stand up in the broader context of the […]
It was almost too perfect. The Mets made an improbable run to the National League Championship Series in 2024. In the offseason, retained their fan-favorite, post-season hero, free-agent first baseman and went out and signed a superstar to the largest contract in baseball history. The Mets saw the promised land but fell short, so they […]
Meet the Mets The Mets will be wearing a memorial patch on their jerseys for Davey Johnson this season. The New York Transit Museum will be running a vintage 7 Line train to Mets-Willet Point Thursday morning in honor of Opening Day. Carson Benge had an excited (and colorful) reaction to being called up to […]
The Mets used a tremendous amount of pitchers in 2025; if you count position players, 46 pitchers tossed off the mount last year for the Mets. 29 pitchers pitched in relief for the Mets last season, and of all that pitched in at least five games, only seven are still in the organization and/or aren’t […]
If you still don’t know who Devin Williams is, you’ve definitely seen him pitch before. You’ve seen him throw the same pitch, in fact, over and over again—rocking back and firing a changeup on the lower-outside corner which Pete Alonso connects with the other way as the Mets’ dugout erupts and Howie Rose delivers the […]
Outside of Edwin Díaz, the Mets’ bullpen proved to be volatile last year. While a number of factors contributed to that reality, one of David Stearns’ goals this offseason was to strengthen the relief corps. He started that process when he signed closer Devin Williams to a three-year deal, but he followed that up a […]
Linda Surovich: Carson Benge wins ROTY During the offseason, David Stearns announced that Carson Benge would be given a chance to compete for a spot on the major league roster during spring training. A spot cleared on the roster for him with Brandon Nimmo’s departure and Juan Soto moving to left field this season. The […]

This afternoon, the Mets announced that Carson Benge has officially made the Opening Day roster and will be playing right field when the Mets take on Paul Skenes and the Pirates on March 26 at Citi Field. The team’s number 2 ranked prospect was impressive in camp, hitting .366/.435/.439 in 41 at-bats during Grapefruit League […]
The Mets’ starting rotation is a mixture of homegrown players and acquired talent heading into the 2026 season. They’ve got some young players fresh from the minor leagues either firmly entrenched or knocking on the door in Nolan McLean, Christian Scott, and Jonah Tong. And they have a group of starters they acquired outside the […]
Bo Bichette and the Mets were a match that was made for a variety of reasons. Following the departure of Pete Alonso and trade of Brandon Nimmo, the Mets had some open plate appearances to fill in, to say the very least. Nimmo will almost certainly be replaced by Carson Benge, as the rookie hit […]
Meet the Mets Mike Tauchman’s MRI revealed a torn meniscus that will require surgery to repair and keep him sidelined for the foreseeable future. For at least the first two go-arounds, the Mets will run with a five-man rotation where Sean Manaea will be the odd man out, piggybacking when needed. In his time as […]

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza announced this morning that outfielder Mike Tauchman has a meniscus tear in his knee and will require surgery. That certainly takes the 35-year-old out of the equation for the Mets’ final decisions about their Opening Day roster, but assuming he stays with the organization, it is the sort of surgery that […]
