Love the Mets
Meet the Mets Tobias Myers had another solid outing yesterday, but it wasn’t enough to lead the Mets to victory against the Nationals. While Myers’s exact role for the 2026 Mets continues to be unclear, he has looked and felt great thus far in spring. Brett Baty played first base in yesterday’s game and spoke […]
There’s a term that you hear tossed around baseball circles a lot, especially this time of year: Quad-A player. This means someone who is probably better than Triple-A talent but isn’t necessarily cut out for the majors, either. There tends to be subsets of Quad-A players, including but not limited to the defensive whiz who […]
The Mets fell behind early in today’s game against the Nationals at Clover Park, and despite late attempts to comeback, they ultimately fell to the Nationals 3-2. The Mets will be at home once again tomorrow afternoon. They face off against the Astros at 1:10 PM on SNY, with Clay Holmes taking the mound.

Jonah Tong’s 2025 campaign was about as strong an advertisement for Triple-A baseball as one can make. Tong absolutely eviscerated minor league competition last season. In 22 starts, he pitched to a 1.43 ERA with 179 strikeouts in 113.2 IP. Those eye-popping numbers were enough to earn Tong the Minor League Pitching Prospect of the […]
Before the Mets traded Brandon Nimmo and Jeff McNeil, before they let Edwin Díaz and Pete Alonso walk, and before they added a smattering of All-Stars to their roster, the team’s offseason began with a subtler move: acquiring Joey Gerber. A 28-year-old right-handed reliever, Gerber has just twenty innings of big league experience under his […]
From the very beginning of the offseason, David Stearns—normally one who plays things extremely close to the vest—has been fairly clear whenever the subject of the 2026 outfield comes up. He has repeatedly stated that 2024 first round pick Carson Benge will enter spring training with a chance to win a starting job for the […]
Welcome to Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series, the new/old favorite from Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore. This week, Chris and Brian discus the first spring starts from Nolan McLean and Freddy Peralta, talk right field, and spend more time on Robert Stock than anyone probably expected. Chris’s Music Pick: The Mystery Lights – […]
Meet the Mets Freddy Peralta, who pitched three perfect innings in the Mets’ 14-3 Grapefruit League victory over the Cardinals yesterday, was named as the Opening Day starter for the Mets. “Everybody was aware and Freddy was pretty pumped,” Carlos Mendoza said. Speaking of Peralta, he smiled and said, “No comment” when asked if he […]
The Mets decimated the Cardinals in a victory on the road in Jupiter this afternoon, and Freddy Peralta started his Mets tenure about as good as one would have hoped. The Mets will be back in action tomorrow afternoon at 1:10 PM EST, taking on the Washington Nationals back at Clover Park. Tobias Myers will […]
Carlos Mendoza officially announced Freddy Peralta as the Mets’ Opening Day starter earlier today. The skipper said it was “pretty clear” Peralta would be pitching at the front of the team’s rotation when he was acquired this offseason, adding “he earned it”. Peralta was arguably the centerpiece move for a Mets offseason that saw the […]

It has been a few years since the Mets were active in the major league portion of the Rule 5 Draft. However, in 2025 they were active in the minor league portion, claiming three pitchers: Justin Armbruester, Aaron Rozek, and Matt Turner. Turner, an 11th round draft pick for Cleveland in 2017, is a Miami […]
Alex Carrillo has had a rather arduous road in his professional career, one that eventually resulted in his major league debut in 2025. Carrillo, now 28 years of age, originally signed as an undrafted free agent with the Texas Rangers out of Faulker University, an NAIA school in Montgomery, Alabama, in 2019. He lost his […]
Meet the Mets Nolan McLean’s first outing of the spring was fantastic, and the Mets won their exhibition game against the Astros. Mets minor league pitcher Ryan Lambert is fanatical about his dietary beliefs and once consumed thirty raw eggs per day for an entire month. “Everybody says first base is easy, but it’s harder […]

The Mets cruised to victory in a road game as they visited the Astros in West Palm Beach this afternoon, and Nolan McLean was unsurprisingly the star of the show in his first spring training appearance.

MJ Melendez, once upon a time, was a top prospect in the game of baseball. The now 27 year old was a 2017 second round pick (52nd overall) by the Kansas City Royals out of high school, and ascended through the minor leagues rather quickly. Originally a catcher, Melendez reached High-A ball in 2019 before […]
Meet the Mets The Mets fell to the Cardinals 6-0 and are now 2-2 in Grapefruit League action. Jonah Tong saw his first game action of spring and gave up a three-run home run in 2.2 innings of work. One of the candidates to make the bullpen, Adbert Alzolay, had a successful appearance in his […]

The New York Mets (2-2-1) dropped a listless game to the St. Louis Cardinals (3-2), 6-0 at Clover Park in St. Lucie. The Mets scattered eight hits, but couldn’t bring any across in their fifth game of spring. The Mets take on the Astros in West Palm Beach tomorrow at 1:05pm. Nolan McLean will make […]

Carlos Mendoza provided an update on Francisco Lindor to the media today, saying that the Mets’ shortstop can restart “impact” activities in 2-3 days after having the stitches removed from his surgically repaired left hand on Tuesday. Lindor underwent surgery on February 11 to repair a stress fracture in his left hamate bone and the […]
Warning: This piece discusses domestic violence and includes a link to an article that shows visual evidence of domestic violence. In one of the earliest moves of the offseason, the Mets claimed Ji Hwan Bae off waivers from the Pirates. Bae, entering his age-27 season, appeared in 163 games in parts of four seasons with […]
