Ryan Lambert might be the next great homegrown Mets reliever

As an organizing principle, I don’t believe in ranking relievers highly (or at all, really) in good systems. Time and again, the efforts of the public baseball community to project reliever performance have been shown to be little more than random guess work. There are also just a higher volume of other good players in […]

Mets Morning News: “We have a bunch of leaders in that clubhouse”

Meet the Mets Marcus Semien’s quiet leadership will be key in getting the Mets’ new infield to jell, writes Laura Albanese of Newsday.

Dylan Ross will try to make the major league bullpen in 2026

Dylan Ross had such a good year in the minors in 2025 that he put himself on the prospect map here at Amazin’ Avenue, ranking 18th on our list of the team’s top 25 prospects. And that was before the Mets’ trade that sent Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat to the Brewers, which effectively bumped […]

Jackson Cluff is one of the Mets’ many insurance policies

With the news of his hamate surgery still fresh in our minds, it’s important that we remember that there is no one on the Mets’ roster – 40-Man or otherwise – that can take Francisco Lindor’s place, even for just a few weeks. But that doesn’t mean that the Mets don’t need someone to play […]

Mets moving Juan Soto to left field for 2026 season

While speaking to the press today, Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns announced that the team is moving Juan Soto to left field for the 2026 season.
