A reminiscence of David Peterson’s Mets tenure
It finally happened. The Mets selling before the trade deadline was a worst case scenario going into the season, with a roster full of promise and hope for a return to the postseason. Once they lost 12 in a row, it became a more defined hypothetical, that if the Mets were unable to turn the […]

Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (38-37/4-3) WORCESTER 15, SYRACUSE 5 (BOX) The Woo Sox creamed Syracuse. Nick Morabito concluded his red-hot June with three more hits- one of which was a double- but there really isn’t anything positive to say about this drubbing. Luis Robert Jr. went 1-3 while Jorge Polanco went hitless in three trips to […]
Mets’ catchers go yard in shutout victory over Blue Jays

Thank goodness for Carson Benge and A.J. Ewing
For all of the things that have gone wrong for the Mets season—and if we want to talk about anything else, let’s just leave it at that, lest we spend 1000 words outlining the various failures—the promotion and performance of both Carson Benge and A.J. Ewing has been a bright spot. And in a season […]
Mets Player Performance Meter: Pitchers, June 15-28
It was an ugly couple of weeks for the New York Mets’ starting pitchers, while the bullpen continued to come through. New York starters got shelled repeatedly, and the longest-tenured Met, David Peterson, was shipped out to greener pastures before he could have another clunker performance in the Orange and Blue. Freddy Peralta had a […]

Where does Carlos Mendoza rank in Mets managerial history?
Former New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza’s tenure came to an unceremonious end last week, with little more than a passive-voice social media post and a combative press conference with General Manager David Stearns. With the team coming off an embarrassing series against the Chicago Cubs and officially falling into the depths of the wild […]

Mets recall Joey Gerber, option Tobias Myers to Triple-A
With the Mets in need of some fresh arms in the bullpen, the club recalled right-hander Joey Gerber from Syracuse. To make room on the roster, the team options Tobias Myers to Triple-A.

Mets Player Performance Meter: Position Players, June 15-28
The Mets had an eventful and generally brutal two weeks. The team had a 3-10 record since the last player meter and saw manager Carlos Mendoza fired and replaced with Andy Green on an interim basis.

Can the Mets reset the luxury tax in 2027?
Betteridge’s law of headlines states that any headline written as a question can be answered in a single word – “no”. Unfortunately for the Mets, that likely holds true at a high level in this instance; it will be exceedingly hard to duck the tax in 2027. At a more granular level though, the answer […]

Mets Daily Prospect Report, 6/29/26: Mostly monotonous Mets
Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (38-37/4-2) SYRACUSE 5, LEHIGH VALLEY 4 (BOX) Manager Dick Scott went with something a little different, having reliever Dan Hammer start the game before bringing in starter Jack Wenninger, but the move didn’t seem to really have much of an impact- Hammer pitched a scoreless inning in the first and Wenninger was […]
