It’s hard to see a turnaround for the Mets without Francisco Lindor

Making declarations about a baseball team before the calendar turns to May is a fool’s errand, but here we are. The Mets have been so bad to begin the 2026 season that it really does feel like their season has gone down the tubes. On top of the fact that they’re 9-19 and tied with […]

Mets Daily Prospect Report, 4/27/26: Prepare for trouble, and make it double

Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (13-13) WORCESTER 6, SYRACUSE 2 (BOX) Jonah Tong’s maddening start to 2025 continues. The right-hander continues getting plenty of strikeouts (38 in 25.1 innings), but has been allowing too many free passes (15 in 25.1 innings) and has been far too hittable, leading to afternoons like this one, where he allowed three […]

Mets designate Tommy Pham for assignment, sign Austin Slater

Pham, you may recall, played for the Mets in […]

Mets fail to score as they’re swept by the Rockies

If you had any doubt about the 2026 Mets being a terrible baseball team, surely it was erased this afternoon as the team scored just one run across two games of a doubleheader against the Rockies at Citi Field. In the second game, the Mets were shut out, a recurring theme early of a season […]

Mets Daily Prospect Report, 4/26/26: Rain and losses

Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (13-12) WORCESTER 9, SYRACUSE 2 (BOX) Don’t walk 13 batters in a game if you want to have a chance of winning. Also, maybe have more than four hits. Just a couple thoughts.

Meet the Mets It was good while it lasted. After winning two straight games, the Mets are back to their losing ways following a 4-3 loss to the Colorado Rockies last night. Freddy Peralta faltered late in the game, as he is wont to do, and the Mets failed to get enough clutch hits to […]

Mets Daily Prospect Report, 4/25/26: More means Morabito

Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (13-11) SYRACUSE 3, WORCESTER 0 (BOX) Three runs in the third were all the Mets needed in this one.

Meanwhile, six pitchers combined to shutout the Red Sox, including a perfect inning from […]

Bo comes up big in ugly Mets win

It wasn’t pretty, but the Mets managed to win another game, topping the Twins in their series finale 10-8. Christian Scott was poor and the bullpen coughed a lead up late, but the Mets offense – largely dormant for the past three weeks – finally woke up and scored enough to cover for the poor […]
