Love the Mets
On January 21, 2026, Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat were traded to the Milwaukee Brewers. This list, and their place on it, was compiled back in late-November. For continuity’s sake, I decided upon including Williams and Sproat’s profile, but for all intents and purposes, every player on our list below the pair can be considered […]
Heading into a baseball season, you have to think about depth, even when it’s not particularly pleasant to do so. Take the signing of veteran Dodgers’ catcher Austin Barnes for example. For Austin Barnes to have a meaningful impact on the 2026 season, something has gone wrong for either Luis Torrens or, more problematically, Francisco […]
Meet the Mets It’s official: Francisco Lindor will not get to play for Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic for insurance reasons. Keith Hernandez and SNY have agreed to a three-year contact. With pitchers and catchers set to report next week and spring training games to follow not too long after that, Abbey Mastracco […]

It’s been a little over a year since the Mets claimed right-handed relief pitcher Austin Warren off waivers from the Giants, and with today being Warren’s 30th birthday, it seems like as good a time as any to take a look at what might be in store for him in 2026. Taken by the Angels […]

A standout on the baseball diamond as well as the gridiron, Nolan McLean was a two-sport star while attending the eponymously named Garner High School in Garner, North Carolina. As a football player, he lettered three years and threw for 6809 yards for 62 touchdowns. He was a three year letterman in baseball as well, […]
Christian Scott was the first of the Mets’ current crop of young minor league starters to make his MLB debut back in the summer of 2024. It says a lot about the strength of the Mets’ farm system that despite Scott getting Tommy John Surgery late in that year, as well as trading away three […]
Meet the Mets New York—specifically Etihad Park, which is being constructed right next to Citi Field—will be hosting group stage soccer games during the 2028 Olympics. Rest easy: Keith Hernandez has signed a new deal with SNY to return to the booth for yet another Mets season. However, Keith will be cutting back on his […]

Garrett went on to attend Cowley Community College in Arkansas City, Kansas in 2015, was drafted by the Cleveland Indians with their 22nd round pick in the […]
In the early days of the off-season, the Mets signed Joe Jacques to a minor league deal. The left-handed side-armer has had a couple cups of coffee with the Red Sox and the Diamondbacks, but did not pitch in the majors in 2025. This is clearly a depth signing for the Mets, as there’s not […]

Tong talked about the Brandon Sproat trade and his goals for the upcoming season, stating “I’m just going to be where my feet are and let everything […]

A native of Markham, Ontario, Canada, Jonah Tong grew up in a family of athletes. His skill at baseball quickly became apparent, but given that the family lived in Ontario, there was a distinct lack of opportunities for him to learn, grow, and highlight his skills to professional scouts and evaluators. A student at Bill […]
As much as we would like to believe otherwise sometimes, baseball teams have no crystal balls. Sometimes things happen out of the prescribed order, gambles don’t pay off, or players who you just brought in may almost instantly become redundant. The latter might be what happened to Carl Edwards Jr. Not that when Edwards was […]
Meet the Mets Juan Soto was officially announced as a member of the Dominican Republic’s World Baseball Classic team. The Mets are reportedly one of the teams interested in the services of free agent first baseman and hit-by-pitch-accumulator Ty France. Around the National League East Ten days out from pitchers and catchers reporting, Nick Castellanos […]

It’s February 1st, which means that we are just about two weeks away from pitchers and catchers reporting. And while we are all excited to see the return of our favorite players, let’s be real. There’s very little that Francisco Lindor or Juan Soto could do on a spring training field that would change much […]
Meet the Mets Anthony DiComo of MLB.com dove into the outlook for the Mets’ rotation in 2026 now that it seems more or less set. Mets reliever Adbert Alzolay, who the Mets signed to a two-year minor league deal last offseason as he spent 2025 recovering from Tommy John surgery, is healthy and ready to […]
