Mets best Phillies through the haze
The Mets, fresh off the All Star break and playing a game shrouded in an orangey haze thanks to the horrific wildfires in Canada, played a rather complete game to win their first game of the second half.

Mets Player Performance Meter: Pitchers, June 29-July 12
The Mets’ bullpen churn has kicked into high gear as we head into the All-Star break, as evidenced by how many new names are on the meter this week. There are even more names (we hardly knew thee, Dan Hammer) who were shadow Mets who never got into a game and therefore don’t appear on […]
Francisco Lindor, the Mets, and not giving up on elite players
Francisco Lindor’s year hasn’t gone as anyone would’ve expected. Sidelined at the very beginning of spring training and forced to miss the World Baseball Classic as he recovered, Lindor unsurprisingly got off to a slow start when the Mets’ 2026 season got underway. And just as he started heating up at the plate, he suffered […]

Mets Morning News: Let the second half commence
Meet the Mets With the Trade Deadline approaching the Mets will need to focus on retooling for the future with this season dead in the water. The team limps into the second half as one of the worst teams in the league and it’s not likely to get better any time soon. Brett Baty has […]

2026 Mets Draft profile: Cooper Dossett
Cooper Dossett was not only a well-known, high-profile high school prospect during his days playing at Har-Ber High School in Springdale, Arkansas, but he was a record-setting high school prospect; the right-hander set the Perfect Game national record by uncorking a throw from the outfield that was clocked at 100 MPH. A four-year letterman with […]
2026 Mets Draft profile: Gavin Guidry
When you think of Guidey’s from the bayous outside of New Orleans, the mind automatically shifts to Louisiana Lightning, but there is no blood relation between the two. Born in Lake Charles, Louisiana, Gavin Guidry attended Alfred M. Barbe High School. If that sounds familiar, it should- another Mets-related Gavin was also born in Lake […]

A three-year letterwinner who played baseball, basketball, and football at Fulton High School in Fulton, Missouri, Dustin Hagens performed well on the diamond, helping lead the team to the semifinals of the state championship tournament in his senior year, but drew very little scouting buzz and attention as an unheralded, undersized right-hander. Prior to his […]
2026 Mets Draft profile: Zach Crotchfelt
According to Crotchfelt family lore, Zach’s great-grandfather was scouted by and signed with the St. Louis Cardinals, playing for their Class AAA farm club back in the day. Perhaps in a few generations, Zach’s great-grandchildren will be telling stories at blurnsball games themselves about how their ancestor played baseball with the New York Mets. A […]

Things to watch in the Mets’ second half
Let’s cut right to the chase: The Mets are a bad baseball team. But worse than being bad, they’re borderline unwatchable. Ah, I see I’ve already contradicted the overarching purpose of this article. Apologies, let’s start over. Yes, the Mets are bad. And yes, the Mets have been teetering on the precipice of completely unwatchable […]
A 2026 Mets trade deadline primer
The Mets are bad. The trade deadline approaches: Monday, August 3 at 6 PM EDT. That means it’s time to do an inventory of what the Mets have to move and what they might get for those pieces. Rental relievers Relief pitchers on one-year contracts are perhaps the most obvious pieces for a deadline seller […]
Mets Morning News: Senior Circuit snooze
Meet the Mets Danny Abriano listed five storylines to watch for in the second half of the Mets season. Mike Puma doled out a myriad of Fs on his first-half report card for the New York Mets. Mets first-round draft pick Carson Wiggins has officially signed with the organization. The Mets’ ineptitude has made it […]
Juan Soto laughs off boos, singles in All-Star Game
Sometimes you have to tune out the haters. Juan Soto did just that in Philadelphia when he was introduced at Tuesday night’s MLB All-Star Game. In enemy territory, Phillies fans booed him so loudly that he couldn’t help but smile. Making his fifth All-Star appearance, Soto went 1-for-2 with a single and a strikeout against […]
