Daniel Duarte will look to get back into the big leagues with the Mets

Daniel Duarte was signed rather unceremoniously back in December of 2025, with his signing being discovered on his MLB.com profile page by MLB Trade Rumors. Duarte, however, is one of the more intriguing of the cornucopia of relief options that were brought in by David Stearns this past offseason, due to his past MLB experience […]

Mets Morning News: Checkmate

Meet the Mets The Mets played their spring training opener yesterday and fell 2-1 to the Miami Marlins at Clover Park. Many of the team’s new faces took their first swings in a Mets uniform and Brandon Waddell pitched two scoreless innings. However, the Mets were held hitless until the fifth inning and didn’t score […]

Grapefruit Juice: Marlins 2, Mets 1

The Marlins defeated the Mets 2-1 in the opening game of Grapefruit League play. The Mets were no-hit in the contest until the fifth and threatened late, but were unable to pull out the late-inning comeback. The Mets will play their crosstown rival Yankees in Tampa tomorrow at 1:05pm ET.

You should be excited about A.J. Ewing

There were a lot of notable breakouts in the Mets’ system last year. Nolan McLean went from an interesting arm in the back third of the top-101 to a potential top-of-the-rotation and the putative favorite for the 2026 National League Rookie of the Year. Jonah Tong started in a similar place and ended up only […]

Mets Morning News: Cue the SNY theme

Meet the Mets Baseball is back! Here are some things to look out for as the Mets play their first spring training game today. Nolan McLean and Juan Soto engaged in an epic rock-paper-scissors battle yesterday while facing each other in live BP. Sean Manaea believes adjusting his arm slot will allow him to return […]

How do you feel about Steve Cohen not wanting a captain on the Mets?

This post is part of a series of daily questions that we’ll ask the community here at Amazin’ Avenue throughout the month of February. We hope you find the questions engaging and that our prompts can spark some fun conversations in the comments. We’ll see you there and plan to have staff chiming in, too. […]

Mike Baumann has a knuckle-curve, will travel

One of the my favorite bits in Mets discourse these days is that the only part of roster building that David Stearns is actually excited about is dumpster diving for relief arms. Signing a young superstar to a record-setting contract? Boring. Trading for a potentially electric center fielder or a very affordable #2 starter? Grunt […]

Mets Morning News: The sun’ll come out tomorrow

Meet the Mets We’re 29 hours away from hearing Gary, Keith, and Ron on air for the first time in 2026, as the Mets’ spring training opener is set for a 1:10 PM EST first pitch tomorrow in Port St. Lucie. That’s a good excuse to take another look at the broadcast schedule for the […]

Nick Burdi, a former top prospect, will try to make it work with Mets

You can never have enough bullpen options, and the Mets, like every other team during the offseason, searched far and wide to find some intriguing pitchers that they could sign and try out in spring training. One of those options is Nick Burdi, a former second-round draft pick who is looking to rebuild his career […]

Mets Morning News: Mets break ground on new minor league complex

Meet the Mets David Stearns was on hand to break ground on the team’s new minor league complex which will almost be entirely paid for by Steve Cohen. After being acquired in the Freddy Peralta trade, Carlos Mendoza confirmed that Tobias Myers will be on the roster Opening Day but what role he would have […]

Mets Morning News: Tony Clark resigns

Meet the Mets Clay Holmes threw live batting practice yesterday, and new Mets Marcus Semien and Bo Bichette were impressed by his breaking stuff. John Harper posited Carson Benge as the Nolan McLean of the 2026 Mets, as he sees him coming up and adapting quickly to become an impact player. The Mets plan to […]

Mets Morning News: No Captain, My Captain

Meet the Mets The full squad reported to Port St. Lucie yesterday, which means the gang’s all here. Steve Cohen spoke to the media on the first official day of spring training. He spoke about being annoyed with the team’s inconsistency in recent years and declared that, as long as he is owner, there will […]

Should the Mets extend Freddy Peralta ahead of Opening Day?

Mets, Mike Tauchman agree to minor league deal

With their final bench spot still in a bit of flux, the Mets made another addition to their very large group of players in camp, signing veteran Mike Tauchman to a minor league deal, according to Will Sammon of The Athletic. Tauchman, despite being on a minor league contract, will have a very open opportunity […]

Washington Nationals sign long time Mets reliever Drew Smith

After signing Cionel Perez a couple days ago, the Nats picked up another veteran reliever on an incentive-laden minor league deal. This time Paul Toboni and the Nats picked up Drew Smith, who was a mainstay in the Mets bullpen for a few years. From 2021 to 2024, Smith featured prominently in the Mets bullpen, […]

Grae Kessinger looks to overcome a lost 2025

It is interesting, and potentially advantageous, that the Mets signed so many middle infielders during the offseason. As we all cross our fingers for a speedy recovery from hamate surgery for Francisco Lindor, we’ve been highlighting some of the potential players who may take some at-bats during spring training and (hopefully not) during the early […]

Mets Morning News: The Boys, Back Home

Meet the Mets With a fresh new cast on his hand after successful surgery, Francisco Lindor returned to Mets camp to an almost entirely new group of guys. Now that the 2025 Mets are scattered across the country on Johnny Appleseed’s path, Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor were given the chance to discuss the rancid […]

Dodgers notes: Roki Sasaki, Evan Phillips, Manny Machado

After digesting that Ben Rortvedt will now join fellow former Dodgers catcher Austin Barnes, a non-roster invitee, in New York Mets spring training camp, here are more baseball stories to begin your week. Roki Sasaki faced hitters, including Hyeseong Kim, on Sunday at Camelback Ranch, as he begins building toward his second year in the […]

Mets claim Ben Rortvedt off waivers from Dodgers

The itinerant offseason of Ben Rortvedt continued on Sunday, as the catcher was claimed off waivers by the Mets, and a case of unfortunate timing for the Dodgers. After September injuries to both Will Smith and Dalton Rushing, the Dodgers liked trade deadline acquisition Rortvedt enough to start him 19 times in 25 games down […]

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. Semien is looking forward to a reunion with Bo Bichette and playing alongside Francisco Lindor, he said. Anthony DiComo of MLB.com provided his early spring training observations from Port St. Lucie. Edwin […]
