National League East Preview: Mets face challenges from familiar foes
Last year’s National League East race ended with the Phillies (96-66) winning their second consecutive division crown, while the Mets (83-79) and Braves (76-86) both underperformed expectations and missed the playoffs entirely.

Juan Soto is our superstar
It was almost too perfect. The Mets made an improbable run to the National League Championship Series in 2024. In the offseason, retained their fan-favorite, post-season hero, free-agent first baseman and went out and signed a superstar to the largest contract in baseball history. The Mets saw the promised land but fell short, so they […]

Brooks Raley returns for another year in Queens
The Mets used a tremendous amount of pitchers in 2025; if you count position players, 46 pitchers tossed off the mount last year for the Mets. 29 pitchers pitched in relief for the Mets last season, and of all that pitched in at least five games, only seven are still in the organization and/or aren’t […]
Who is Devin Williams?
If you still don’t know who Devin Williams is, you’ve definitely seen him pitch before. You’ve seen him throw the same pitch, in fact, over and over again—rocking back and firing a changeup on the lower-outside corner which Pete Alonso connects with the other way as the Mets’ dugout erupts and Howie Rose delivers the […]

Luke Weaver has the potential to create a dominant back end of the bullpen
Outside of Edwin Díaz, the Mets’ bullpen proved to be volatile last year. While a number of factors contributed to that reality, one of David Stearns’ goals this offseason was to strengthen the relief corps. He started that process when he signed closer Devin Williams to a three-year deal, but he followed that up a […]

2026 is of the utmost importance to David Peterson
The Mets’ starting rotation is a mixture of homegrown players and acquired talent heading into the 2026 season. They’ve got some young players fresh from the minor leagues either firmly entrenched or knocking on the door in Nolan McLean, Christian Scott, and Jonah Tong. And they have a group of starters they acquired outside the […]
Bo Bichette, Mets look to turn a marriage of convenience into something special
Bo Bichette and the Mets were a match that was made for a variety of reasons. Following the departure of Pete Alonso and trade of Brandon Nimmo, the Mets had some open plate appearances to fill in, to say the very least. Nimmo will almost certainly be replaced by Carson Benge, as the rookie hit […]

Sean Manaea looks to bounce back in 2026
Had we written about Sean Manaea’s upcoming season earlier in spring training, the premise would’ve been a bit more straightforward.
