Tyrone Taylor is back in the right role

Last time we spoke about Tyrone Taylor, it seemed like he was in line to be the starting center fielder for the 2026 Mets. Now, I’m a big fan of Taylor, but that was a touch grim given his .223/.279/.319 line last season. Clearly the front office felt the same and made major additions, bringing […]

Let’s give Jonah Tong the time he deserves in 2026

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.

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.
