Mets Daily Prospect Report, 6/28/26: Benson Bomb

Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (38-37/3-2) LEHIGH VALLEY 8. SYRACUSE 6 (BOX) Syracuse was leading, then gave up 6 runs in the bottom of the eighth. You can really feel the volume of organizational injuries looking at the Triple-A bullpen and it’s reflected in their performance. The rehabbing Jorge Polanco went hitless in three at bats. Double-A: Binghamton Rumble Ponies (27-42/1-4) […]

Francisco Lindor’s triple helps lift Mets over Phillies

Full disclosure I started writing this recap in the fifth inning when the team was down 2-0 and they couldn’t get any runs home against Alan Rangel, but as Shakespeare wrote I got hoisted on my own petard and the Mets surprisingly won 6-2. Speaking of Shakespeare, in Henry VI, in Part II, Act III […]

Mets activate Christian Scott, option Zach Thornton to Triple-A

Earlier today, the Mets re-instated Christian Scott from the 15-day injured list to make the start against the Phillies later this afternoon. In a corresponding move, the club options Zach Thornton to Triple-A. Scott made his last start exactly 15 days ago, when he allowed four earned runs over 4 2/3 innings against the Cardinals […]

Mets Daily Prospect Report, 6/27/26: You go Yonny

Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (38-37/3-1) SYRACUSE 4, LEHIGH VALLEY 3 / 10 (BOX) Jonah Tong still just doesn’t quite have it. Sure, he only gave up two runs, but the swing and miss isn’t there. The fastball has backed up. The breakers aren’t clicking. Just a lost season as he looks to find a consistent left-right option to […]

Mets Morning News: New manager, same result

Meet the Mets The Mets kicked off the Andy Green era with a 2-1 loss to the Phillies on Pride Night at Citi Field. Zach Thornton had a really impressive second major leagues start, pitching six innings of one-run ball, but the offense couldn’t do much against old friend Zack Wheeler. New York has now […]

Mets fall to 0-1 in Andy Green era

In a banner day in Metsland, our beloved Metropolitans lost yet another game, despite the managerial change that saw Carlos Mendoza fired and replaced with Andy Green. The 2-1 loss was a genuine pitcher’s duel from a rather unsuspecting place — at least from the Mets side of things. Old Friend Zack Wheeler was his […]

David Stearns, Andy Green address media

Earlier today, the Mets officially announced that they have fired Carlos Mendoza. It’s hard to say the news has come as a shock, given how the team has played. The biggest shock might be that it took two months to happen. Following the news, David Stearns spoke to the media about the decision to move […]

Getting to know Andy Green

Earlier today, Andy Green officially became the 25th manager in Mets history (26th if you count Carlos Beltrán’s ill-fated tenure) after the team fired Carlos Mendoza. We did learn via David Stearns’ press conference that Green will strictly serve as an interim manager and will return to his previous role of Senior Vice President for […]

Mets activate Taylor, recall Thornton, option Melendez and Duarte

After parting ways with manager Carlos Mendoza on Friday morning, the Mets made a flurry of smaller roster moves. Tyrone Taylor has been activated from the injured list and left-handed-pitcher Zach Thornton has been recalled from Triple-A, while MJ Melendez and right-hander Daniel Duarte were optioned to Triple-A. Taylor spent exactly one month on the […]

Mets look to avoid further humiliation as they host Phillies

I don’t often struggle to write series previews. In fact, it’s often my favorite article to compile for Amazin’ Avenue. But I’m going to be honest, I’m struggling to even think about where to begin with this one. But here goes…after a truly horrific stretch of baseball, the New York Mets (34-47) welcome the division […]

Mets fire Carlos Mendoza

After receiving multiple votes of confidence over the course of the roughest patches of the season, the Mets finally made a drastic move to, hopefully, shake the doldrums out of their club by firing manager Carlos Mendoza. Andy Green, former Padres manager and the Mets’ Senior Vice President for Player Development, will be interim manager […]

Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series, Episode 235: Peter[son]ed Out

Welcome to Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series, the new/old favorite from Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore. The good news? Francisco Lindor is back and Juan Soto isn’t on the IL. The rest of the news is just plain bad. What will the next three months of Mets baseball look like? When will the […]

Mets Morning News: 34-47 at the halfway point

Meet the Mets The Mets played the 81st game of their season last night, and they lost their sixth-straight game in the process. The Cubs beat them 4-3 in ten innings, completing a four-game sweep and a season sweep of the seven games between the two teams this season. Choose your recap: Amazin’ Avenue, Faith […]

Mets Daily Prospect Report, 6/26/26: Nothing all that exciting

Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (38-37/2-1) LEHIGH VALLEY 7, SYRACUSE 3 (BOX) Just nothing very interesting or exciting to talk about here. Ryan Clifford still isn’t really hitting. Ryan Lambert is still struggling. Oh well. Double-A: Binghamton Rumble Ponies (27-42/1-2) BINGHAMTON 10, ERIE 7 (BOX) Big offensive day for the Rumble Ponies. Homers for Jose Ramos and Nick Lorusso carried the […]

Mets swept by Cubs at home and in the season series

The Mets continue to set records that nobody wants as they left 14 runners on base, a season high, and allowed four more unearned runs in tonight’s loss, 4-3 to the Cubs. After allowing a leadoff single to Pete Crow-Armstrong in the first inning, Freddy Peralta retired the next ten hitters and seemed on track […]

A look at the Mets’ rotation without David Peterson

In trading David Peterson, the Mets have dealt from a position of weakness, as their starting rotation was already more or less in shambles. With yesterday’s poor performances from Nolan McLean and Sean Manaea, plus the demotion of Kodai Senga to the bullpen and Peterson’s departure, the Mets have to rebuild their starting staff mid-season, […]

Mets place Marcus Semien on IL, recall Daniel Duarte and Ronny Mauricio

In what seems almost comically timed after an all-time terrible performance on his souvenir jersey night, Marcus Semien hit the Injured List with a left hip flexor strain. In his place, the Mets are calling up Ronny Mauricio, who was just activated yesterday after a stint on the IL with a thumb injury. To replace […]

Mets Morning News: Cubs and Vikings raid Citi Field

Meet the Mets Well it was unsurpringly ugly yet again at Citi Field. The Mets gave up 20 runs in the doubleheader while scoring eight to get swept in the two games by the Cubs. The pitching was awful, the defense was atrocious, and the offense left a bit to be desired, but hey at […]

Mets Daily Prospect Report, 6/25/26: Brooklyn’s offensive explosion

Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (38-37/2-0) SYRACUSE 5, LEHIGH VALLEY 4 (BOX) Syracuse went down 3-0 in the second inning, and that score held until the seventh. A rehabbing Tyrone Taylor drove in a run with a single to make it 3-1. The Mets took the lead in the eighth, on the back of a Grae Kessinger […]
