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
Meet the Mets In their final game before the process of being picked apart by the actual competitive baseball teams, the Mets said goodbye to their rentals the same way they said hello, with failure. Choose your recap: Amazin’ Avenue, Faith and Fear in Flushing, MLB.com, Newsday, New York Daily News, New York Post During […]
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 […]
Mets claim catcher Shawn Ross off waivers from Pirates
The Mets have claimed 26-year-old catcher Shawn Ross off waivers from the Pirates and designated 29-year-old right-handed pitcher Joey Gerber for assignment to open up a spot for Ross on the 40-man roster. Ross has spent the vast majority of this season and his professional career in the minors. Between his Double-A and Triple-A stints […]
Stock shines but Mets fall flat against Marlins yet again
On Sunday afternoon the Mets took on the Marlins at Citi Field, the last game before the trade deadline, one that would most likely see massive changes to the Mets. There were several Mets who would be on other teams by Monday evening, as the Mets looked to try and recoup some sort of future […]
Breaking down the Mets’ return for Freddy Peralta
The Mets finally found a package they liked for Freddy Peralta, moving him to Tampa Bay for three prospects most fans have likely never heard of. Indeed, none of these prospects ranked in the Rays’ top-10 per MLB pipeline. There’s more to like to this return than you might think, however. Émilien Pitre is the […]
Mets trade Freddy Peralta to Rays
The Mets are trading right-handed starting pitcher Freddy Peralta to the Rays, per a report from Will Sammon of The Athletic. Given the disappointing season the Mets are having and the fact that the team and Peralta didn’t agree to any contract extension after he came to the organization in a trade from the Brewers, […]
Mets recall Robert Stock and Bryce Conley, DFA Kevin Herget and MJ Melendez
Ahead of his start today for the Mets, Robert Stock has been recalled to the major league roster alongside pitcher Bryce Conley. In corresponding moves, Kevin Herget was designated for assignment and Jonathan Pintaro was optioned back to Triple-A Syracuse. Finally, in anticipation of major roster churn over the next 36 hours, the Mets cleared […]
Padres have checked in on Kodai Senga as trade deadline approaches
The Padres have checked in on right-handed pitcher Kodai Senga, per a report by Joel Sherman. The 33-year-old has struggled mightily this year, as he has an 8.66 ERA and a 6.50 FIP in 44.2 innings of work. Senga’s outstanding 2023 season increasingly feels like a distant memory, as he’s also struggled to stay healthy […]

2026 Mets Draft: Post-Draft Thoughts
In general, I look at “draft grading” as a three-part exercise. The first phase takes place during the draft selection itself and then in its immediate aftermath, where you are mainly analyzing who the team is taking and how they navigated the overall process. There’s a lot more emotion and opinion involved in this phase […]

Mets Morning News: Party like it’s nothing like 1986
Meet the Mets On the day the Mets honored the 1986 championship team, the 2026 Mets highlighted their dissimilarity to that squad in a 6-2 loss to the Marlins at Citi Field. Despite a shaky start from Zac Thornton, the game remained close until the middle innings thanks to a Tyrone Taylor homer that got […]
Listless Mets drop second straight to Marlins
The Mets are very much a team in limbo right now and they played like it in their 6-2 loss to the Marlins. Zac Thornton got the start and had his first shaky outing. He wasn’t helped by Francisco Lindor in the first whose error led to an unearned run. Then in the second Thornton […]
