Who is the real Mark Vientos?

The Mets need to know who Mark Vientos is, and 2026 is likely the last opportunity they will have to find out. Is he the 27 home run impact bat who lit up the 2024 playoffs? Or is he the guy who in ten more plate appearances in 2025 hit ten fewer home runs and […]

Luis Torrens is set to return as Francisco Alvarez’s backup in 2026

When the Mets picked up Luis Torrens from the Yankees early in the 2024 season, it wasn’t exactly the biggest news. Then in his age-28 season, the catcher had racked up 807 major league plate appearances but hadn’t cracked the Yankees’ major league roster. And up to that point, he was worth -1.7 fWAR in […]

Mets Morning News: Manaea’s velocity down, Beltrán’s number going up

Meet the Mets Sean Manaea wasn’t at his best against the Cardinals yesterday, and the Mets’ lineup only scored when Jorge Polanco hit a solo home run in the team’s spring training loss.

We’ve also unfortunately had a KoST campaign-ending injury since […]

Mets reportedly planning to retire Carlos Beltrán’s number this season

It appears that Carlos Beltrán’s number 15 will soon be joining the other retired numbers up above the promenade in left field at Citi Field. According to Mike Puma, the organization is planning a ceremony to honor the former Mets’ center fielder and retire his number later this season. Originally, Beltran was going to be […]

Marcus Semien promises elite up the middle defense

When the 2025 season ended, there was a narrative espoused by the Mets’ front office that one of the goals of the offseason was to focus on run prevention. This narrative more or less went out the window with the signing of Jorge Polanco and Bo Bichette, but the concept endures in the trade of […]

Huascar Brazobán still has options in 2026

Thanks to his relatively lengthy path to accruing major league service time, Huascar Brazobán still has one option remaining heading into the 2026 season. We’re starting there because it figures to come into play as the Mets have built another bullpen that’s designed to see a lot of roster churn, even though approach went pretty […]

Freddy Peralta is exactly what the 2026 Mets need

Since arriving with the Mets, David Stearns has had a fairly predictable pattern when it comes to starting pitching acquisitions. He has largely foregone the bigger available names on the open market, believing that committing significant resources to good but not elite starters to be a bad investment—particularly for a team that had little internal […]

Ryan Weathers’ stormy second spring start for Yankees sparks Mets win

More than the vast majority of spring training games, this matchup between the Yankees and Mets was all about the starting pitchers.
