The Mets have placed Jorge Polanco on the IL with left ankle bursitis. The first baseman/DH will undergo surgery and is done for the season, according to Andy Green. The team’s skipper noted that Polanco “can’t get freedom from the pain”, which he has been playing through. The team signed Polanco to a two-year, $40 […]

Mets Morning News: Mets lose, Tatís wins

Meet the Mets The Mets were beaten by the Padres 5-2. Luis Torrens and Luis Robert Jr. each hit solo home runs but the Mets were unable to overcome Fernando Tatís Jr.’s two home runs and grand slam robbery of Lindor.

Tatis, Padres out-slug the Mets

The Mets dropped the middle game of their three-game set with the Padres, 5-2. The Mets’ string of good luck somewhat dried up tonight, although starter Zac Thornton gave them a perfectly cromulent start, five inning performance, allowing three earned runs on two home runs, while striking out seven and walking just one. Thornton has […]

Mets Player Performance Meter: Pitchers, August 3-16

The Mets used a lot of pitchers in 2025, so I can’t say for certain that this is a record for most new names I’ve had to add to a meter in a single week, but it very well might be. The trading deadline saw the Mets trade two members of their rotation (three if […]

Stellar defense secures a Mets win against Padres

The Mets started a three game series against the Padres on Monday night. The Padres were sitting in a playoff spot, just a game ahead of the Diamondbacks for the final Wild Card spot. Walker Buehler was getting the start for the Padres, while Nolan McLean was taking the mound for the Mets, hoping to […]

Mets Player Performance Meter: Position Players, August 3-16

In the past two weeks, the Mets have swept two series and only lost one series. They were shut out in two of their three losses in the past 12 games, but other than that, the offense has ironically produced considerably better since losing Juan Soto. Francisco Lindor has been raking, Bo Bichette earned what […]

Monday Stat Party: The Beat (It) Goes On

Welcome back to Monday Stat Party, a weekly series showcasing some of the most curious and nostalgia-inducing statistical developments from the past week of Mets baseball. What unites each entry is the sense of intrigue which they aim to spark, and the unbridled love of the game’s anomalies from which they arise. Without further ado, […]

Resurgent Mets welcome red-hot Padres to Citi Field for three games

Following a series sweep of the Nationals, the New York Mets (56-69) get ready to host the suddenly red-hot San Diego Padres (67-58). The Mets took two out of three from the Padres at Petco Park earlier in the season. Last year, the Mets took two out of three at Citi Field when the two […]

Mets Morning News: Constitutional Crisis

Meet the Mets Continuing their alarmingly-successful run in the aftermath of the trade deadline, the Mets sent the Nationals out of town with a three-game sweep. Choose your recap: Amazin’ Avenue, Faith and Fear in Flushing, MLB.com, Newsday, New York Daily News, New York Post In the back half of this lost season, the unsung […]

Mets Daily Prospect Report, 08/17/26: Upper minors wins, lower minors losses

Triple A: Syracuse Mets (59 – 60) SYRACUSE 2, JACKSONVILLE 1 (BOX) Jonah Tong’s six strikeouts were encouraging to see, but it was the combined four and a third of no hit, two-walk ball that the bullpen threw that was truly impressive. Nick Morabito stole two bases and Hayden Senger and Eric Wagaman each drove […]

Mets sweep the Nationals behind Luis Torrens and Christian Scott

The New York Mets have really taken to their role as a spoiler. The Mets earned a sweep of the Washington Nationals with a 4-3 victory Sunday at Citi Field, likely putting the nail in the coffin of a Nationals’ season that had already been trending downward. Christian Scott had a quality start, Luis Torrens […]

Mets Morning News: The club is jumpin’, jumpin’

Meet the Mets The Mets came from behind to walk off the Nationals in a thrilling 5-4 victory. Sean Manaea provided desperately needed length, the bullpen held firm, and the Mets mounted a ninth inning rally that culminated in a Francisco Alvarez game-tying double and a Francisco Lindor walk-off knock to win it. Choose your […]

Mets pull out a win over Nats thanks to hits from Alvarez, Lindor

The Mets completed a ninth-inning comeback today against the Nationals, and they won 5-4. Sean Manaea worked six-plus innings again, and the bullpen helped to give the offense a chance to stay in the game right until the end. After Manaea retired the side at the top of the first inning, A.J. Ewing led off […]

Mets Morning News: R.I.P. Butch Huskey

Meet the Mets Robert Stock and the Mets fell behind 1-0 in the third inning in last night’s series opener against the Nationals. But that would prove to be the only run the pitching staff would surrender on the night, and a pair of runs in both the sixth and seventh innings—including solo homers from […]

Mets Daily Prospect Report, 8/15/26: DSL Orange stole all the runs

Triple A: Syracuse Mets (57 – 60) GAME 1: JACKSONVILLE 4, SYRACUSE 2 (BOX) They’d have been better off not resuming Thursday’s rain suspended game. At least Nick Morabito homered. GAME 2: JACKSONVILLE 7, SYRACUSE 2 / 7 (BOX) They’d have been even better off not playing the regularly scheduled game as well. Nothing positive to write […]

Mets defeat Nationals in series opener

The Mets were held to one baserunner through five but they broke out late in their 4-1 win over the Nationals. Francisco Lindor had another tough day in the field which helped Washington get on the board first, but he made up for it when he tied the game in the sixth with a solo […]

The best Citi Field Fridays vs. the Nationals

I know what you’re thinking. Fridays against the Nationals at Citi Field. Isn’t that a bit of a narrow category for a “best of” list? That’s a tremendously fair point, but for whatever reason, it seems a disproportionate number of the most memorable games in recent Mets history have come on Fridays against the Nats […]
