Christian Scott was the first of the Mets’ current crop of young minor league starters to make his MLB debut back in the summer of 2024. It says a lot about the strength of the Mets’ farm system that despite Scott getting Tommy John Surgery late in that year, as well as trading away three […]

A student at Bill […]

Around the National League East Ten days out from pitchers and catchers reporting, Nick Castellanos […]
Since the last time we looked into the Mets offseason, a lot has changed! They let key players walk, signed new ones, and made multiple big trades to address drastic needs. There is a lot to dive into. On the Braves’ side, I should apologize for not talking about all of these moves earlier, given […]
Meet the Mets Anthony DiComo of MLB.com dove into the outlook for the Mets’ rotation in 2026 now that it seems more or less set.

After a season where the Mets missed the playoffs by as narrow a margin as they did, “what if” questions inevitably abound in the post mortem analysis. Of all of those “what if” questions, one that looms surprisingly large is, “What if Griffin Canning hadn’t ruptured his Achilles?” It feels strange typing those words because […]
