Mets hit three home runs, Manaea pitches well in win over Guardians
In their first game after selling a slew of players at the trade deadline, the Mets looked like a better baseball team than the Guardians, a team that entered the night in the final American League Wild Card spot. We know by now that the Mets are not the better of the two teams, but […]

Mets Player Performance Meter: Pitchers, July 16-August 2
Much more so than on the position player side, this meter will look completely different the next time it is posted as a good chunk of the players in the table below are no longer on the roster because they were traded at the deadline. The Mets dealt starters Freddy Peralta and Clay Holmes (not […]
Mets Player Performance Meter: Position Players, July 16-August 2
Thus far in the second half, the Mets have puttered about just under .500 and the offense has struggled, especially with Juan Soto hitting the injured list. Though Francisco Lindor has gone back to looking more like himself offensively, the other regulars the Mets have gotten back from the injured list have not been positive […]
Breaking down the Mets’ return for Clay Holmes and Tyrone Taylor
The final move of the Mets’ deadline sell off landed just before 5 PM yesterday, with Clay Holmes and Tyrone Taylor shipped off as a package to the Cubs. In return, the Mets received Jefferson Rojas, an infielder ranked 63rd on MLB pipeline’s latest top 100 and 99th at Baseball America. Rojas’ overall profile is […]
Post-deadline Mets visit Guardians for three
The Mets (47-66) are back in action tonight as they visit the Guardians (57-56) for a three-game series in Cleveland. Simply put, the Mets are coming off a fire sale that saw them open up five vacancies on their active roster, which was already missing the best hitter in the National League as Juan Soto […]

Mets Morning News: Meet the new Mets
Meet the Mets The trade deadline came and went yesterday, and the Mets were very busy. After making additonal trades over the weekend, they completed their fire sale by shipping off Brooks Raley to the Phillies, Ben Rortvedt to the Dodgers, Luke Weaver to the Pirates, and Clay Holmes and Tyrone Taylor to the Cubs […]
Mets to recall a bunch of players tomorrow
Having traded away a slew of players ahead of the trade deadline earlier this evening, the Mets are set to call up six players, per Will Sammon: Dedniel Núñez, Jefry Yan, Nate Lavender, Chayce McDermott, Xzavion Curry, and Cristian Pache. The team has 21 players on its active roster at the time of this writing, […]
Mets’ Trade Deadline Quick-Reaction Grades
With their playoff odds at 0.1% according to Fangraphs, the Mets’ season is effectively over. That was reflected in the fact that the Mets traded away eight players since Thursday and, if we are counting David Peterson’s departure on June 25th, have jettisoned eight of their prominent MLB players (and one Triple-A depth piece) for […]
Breaking down the Mets’ return for Luke Weaver
With their lower value trade chips gone on deadline day, the Mets moved on to trading players with more significant value. The Pirates were the eventual landing spot for the first of these deals, landing Luke Weaver— along with some coverage of his contract—for infield prospect Sammy Stafura. Stafura was drafted in the second round […]
Mets trade Clay Holmes and Tyrone Taylor to Cubs for Jefferson Rojas
The Mets have traded right-handed pitcher Clay Holmes and outfielder Tyrone Taylor to the Cubs for infield prospect Jefferson Rojas, a 21-year-old who’s played second, third, and short. Holmes has been on the injured list since suffering a broken leg in mid-May, but he was very, very good in 52.2 innings of work over the […]
Mets trade Luke Weaver to Pirates for infield prospect Sammy Stafura
The trade deadline bananza continues for the Mets, who have shipped out arguably their most valuable asset in Luke Weaver. The team acquiring the veteran reliever is the Pittsburgh Pirates (a team that nobody would have expected to be a team buying from the selling Mets, but alas), and the return is middle infield prospect […]
Breaking down the Mets’ return for Brooks Raley
The third of their pure rental pieces to go, Brooks Raley landed with the Phillies on deadline day. Once again, the Mets received a portfolio return, acquiring two minor league arms from their division rivals. John Spikerman was the Phillies’ 3rd round pick in 2024 out of Oklahoma (NOT the same school as Carson Benge […]
Mets 2026 trade deadline tracker
With the Mets having already been very active ahead of the 2026 trade deadline this evening, we thought we’d put together a running list of all the things we’ve written about the trades and the players involved in them here at Amazin’ Avenue. And we look forward to writing up all of the rest of […]
Mets send catcher Ben Rortvedt back to Dodgers
In their latest trade move, the Mets are sending Ben Rortvedt back to the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to Jon Heyman. The Mets previously claimed Rortvedt off waivers from the Dodgers in February, and after getting a look at him in Spring Training, sent him to Triple-A Syracuse, where he has batted ..235/.319/.414. However, he […]
Breaking down the Mets’ return for Huascar Brazoban
The White Sox were connected to a number of Mets’ pieces ahead of the deadlines (including Clay Holmes and Luis Torrens). Ultimately, it was Huascar Brazobán who headed to the south side in exchange for two minor league arms. Zach Franklin is a 27-year-old reliever with a 4.37 ERA in Triple-A who has never pitched […]
Brewers among most likely landing spots for Clay Holmes
As the Trade Deadline approaches, Joel Sherman and Mark Feinsand are reporting that interest in Clay Holmes remains high. The Milwaukee Brewers are among those with the most interest in Holmes, and the Mets are expected to make a deal for him by the 6 PM ET deadline today. Holmes had a strong start to […]
Monday Stat Party: Lightning McLean
Welcome back to Monday Stat Party, a weekly series showcasing some of the most curious and nostalgia-inducing statistical developments from the past week of Mets baseball. What unites each entry is the sense of intrigue which they aim to spark, and the unbridled love of the game’s anomalies from which they arise. Without further ado, […]
Mets trade Brooks Raley to Phillies for a pair of prospects
The Mets have reportedly agreed to a trade with division rival Phillies that will send lefty reliever Brooks Raley to their bullpen in exchange for a pair of prospects who were both drafted in 2024. Raley has been with the Mets since the 2023 season, when he was traded from the Tampa Bay Rays for […]
Breaking down the Mets’ return for A.J. Minter
A.J. Minter was the first of the Mets’ rental relievers to get dealt, heading to Minnesota for two infield prospects. Neither are fantastic on-field pieces, but both have some level of name ID. Billy Amick is the bigger name across baseball more broadly. A 23-year-old R/R corner infielder, Amick was selected in the 2nd round […]
Mets Morning News: D-Day

Mets Daily Prospect Report, 8/3/26: Is this goodbye?
Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (38-37/14-18) SYRACUSE 9, ROCHESTER 7 (BOX) Early on, Syracuse had a solid lead, but that all blew up when Joe Jacques loaded up the bases to begin the fifth and Ben Simon subsequently allowed all of those runs and then some to score, turning a 5-2 lead into a 7-5 deficit. Luckily […]
Mets trade Huascar Brazobán to the White Sox
In the wee hours of the morning, the Mets reportedly completed a trade sending right-handed reliever Huascar Brazobán to the Chicago White Sox for a pair of minor league pitchers, Gabe Davis and Zach Franklin. Brazobán’s path to the majors was not a traditional one, as he was drafted in 2011 and toiled in the […]
