Luis Torrens is set to return as Francisco Alvarez’s backup in 2026
When the Mets picked up Luis Torrens from the Yankees early in the 2024 season, it wasn’t exactly the biggest news. Then in his age-28 season, the catcher had racked up 807 major league plate appearances but hadn’t cracked the Yankees’ major league roster. And up to that point, he was worth -1.7 fWAR in […]

Welcome to Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series, the new/old favorite from Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore. This week, Chris and Brian talk about the relatively stable and (knocks on wood) boring spring thus far. They discuss some breakout performances and talk a little about the World Baseball Classic. Chris’s Music Pick: Kid Bess […]
Mets Morning News: Manaea’s velocity down, Beltrán’s number going up
Meet the Mets Sean Manaea wasn’t at his best against the Cardinals yesterday, and the Mets’ lineup only scored when Jorge Polanco hit a solo home run in the team’s spring training loss. Manaea’s fastball velocity is down. Carlos Mendoza says he’s not concerned about it. The Mets are planning to retire number 15 for […]
Grapefruit Juice: Cardinals 3, Mets 1—Polanco goes yard
The Mets dropped their road game in Jupiter to the Cardinals this afternoon, as Sean Manaea gave up three runs in two-and-two-thirds innings of work. With a lineup featuring many projected Opening Day starters, the Mets only had five hits on the day. The Mets are in split-squad mode tomorrow, as they’ll send a team […]
2026 Mets King of Spring Training, second update
Suddenly, we find ourselves just two weeks from Opening Day and overdue for a 2026 King of Spring Training update. This year’s contest looks a little different than recent years because many players are playing in the World Baseball Classic, including a couple of KoST candidates. We’ve also unfortunately had a KoST campaign-ending injury since […]
Mets reportedly planning to retire Carlos Beltrán’s number this season
It appears that Carlos Beltrán’s number 15 will soon be joining the other retired numbers up above the promenade in left field at Citi Field. According to Mike Puma, the organization is planning a ceremony to honor the former Mets’ center fielder and retire his number later this season. Originally, Beltran was going to be […]

Marcus Semien promises elite up the middle defense
When the 2025 season ended, there was a narrative espoused by the Mets’ front office that one of the goals of the offseason was to focus on run prevention. This narrative more or less went out the window with the signing of Jorge Polanco and Bo Bichette, but the concept endures in the trade of […]
Mets Morning News: The WBC quarterfinals are set
Meet the Mets Bo Bichette seems to have a knack for clutch hitting, which he credits to his father Dante. Opening Day is now just two weeks away, and a potential roster is starting to take shape after a month of Grapefruit League games. Carson Benge and Nolan McLean’s college coach weighed in on what […]

Huascar Brazobán still has options in 2026
Thanks to his relatively lengthy path to accruing major league service time, Huascar Brazobán still has one option remaining heading into the 2026 season. We’re starting there because it figures to come into play as the Mets have built another bullpen that’s designed to see a lot of roster churn, even though approach went pretty […]
Freddy Peralta is exactly what the 2026 Mets need
Since arriving with the Mets, David Stearns has had a fairly predictable pattern when it comes to starting pitching acquisitions. He has largely foregone the bigger available names on the open market, believing that committing significant resources to good but not elite starters to be a bad investment—particularly for a team that had little internal […]
Mets Morning News: Mets win, America loses
Meet the Mets The Mets beat the Cardinals decisively 6-1 yesterday, with David Peterson giving up just one run in four innings and Francisco Alvarez hitting a mammoth two-run home run. The Carlos Beltrán redemption tour needs one last piece to be fully successful: another shot at managing in MLB. Nolan McLean’s rise from prospect […]

Mets announce first roster cuts, option/reassign Tong, Wenninger, Morabito, Ross, and Pintaro
Over the last few days, the Mets made their first roster cuts of spring training, cutting five players from major league camp. Jack Wenninger, the only one of the five not on the 40-Man Roster, was reassigned to minor-league camp, while the four players on the 40 were optioned to Triple-A. Those four players are […]
Luis Robert Jr. will try to stay healthy and find past form at the plate
Coming off a pair of 84 wRC+ seasons in 2024 and 2025, Luis Robert Jr. was traded by the White Sox to the Mets in late January. The oft-injured 28-year-old Cuban center fielder had been with Chicago since playing rookie ball in 2017. At his very best in 2023, Robert was a force to be […]

Nolan McLean carries the weight of enormous expectations into 2026 season
By the technical definition of a “rookie”, as outlined by Major League Baseball’s eligibility requirements, Nolan McLean enters 2026 as a rookie, in so far as he’s thrown fewer than 50 major league innings in his career (48 innings, to be exact). By way of his performance, composure, and talent level, McLean is anything but […]
Mets Morning News: World Baseball? Classic
Meet the Mets In the televised Spring Subway Series, Freddy Peralta and the Mets defeated Ryan Weathers and the Yankees by the score of 10-4.
