Mets Morning News: Travel woes offer no help to Mets

Meet the Mets The Red Sox had a bunch of issues getting to New York for yesterday’s game, but you wouldn’t know it based on the results.

Mets lack the big hit in series opening loss to Red Sox

The Mets fell to the Red Sox 6-2 in the opener of this weekend series at Citi Field. The game was close for much of the evening, but despite racking up ten hits, the Mets failed to string any hits together and never led in the game. Despite the Red Sox being the more sleep […]

Welcome to Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series, the new/old favorite from Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore. Brian and Chris convene to talk about a surprisingly good week of Mets’ baseball.

2026 Mets Draft: Back to the Future

As is tradition at Amazin’ Avenue (2025, 2024, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019), we take a look back at the high school players players who declined to sign with the Mets out of high school in order to attend college and see how their careers have gone now that they’re draft eligible once again. In 2023, […]

2026 Mets Draft: Wish List

Steve Since becoming President of Baseball Operations and bringing Kris Gross into the fold as VP of Amateur Scouting, David Stearns has primarily gone with players that fit a specific mold- younger, less experienced players who possess athleticism and encouraging batted ball data in limited at-bats- with his first-round picks, but there are no hitters […]

Mets Morning News: Winning is nice

Meet the Mets The Mets defeated the hapless Royals in their series finale yesterday afternoon in Queens, taking the series and winning their fourth game in their last five. It’s too little, too late for these 2026 Mets, but it’s always preferable to see them win. Choose your recap: Amazin’ Avenue, Faith and Fear in […]

Mets Daily Prospect Report, 7/10/26: Brooklyn and Binghamton win

Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (45-45) NORFOLK 5, SYRACUSE 4 /10 (BOX) Jonah Tong had another mediocre outing in Syracuse, as he continued to strike batters out an impressive rate while issuing too many walks and giving up too many runs. That outing turned an early two-run lead into a deficit, and the Syracuse lineup was able […]

Mark Vientos to miss time with fractured hand

Mark Vientos, who was hit by a pitch on the hand in the second inning of today’s win over the Kansas City Royals, is set to miss a chunk of time. Interim manager Andy Green announced in his post-game press conference that he suffered a hand fracture, and he will be placed on the injured […]

Manaea, offense lead Mets to win

The Mets played a rather complete game against the Royals; arguably one of the more complete wins on the season. Sean Manaea was the standard bearer for the team, throwing seven excellent innings. He was, however, treated quite rudely to start, as Lane Thomas took the very first pitch of the game and deposited it […]

Mets recall Dan Hammer, option Tobias Myers to Triple-A

Prior to today’s series finale with the Royals, the Mets selected Dan Hammer to the major league roster. The right-hander will wear the number 81 as he makes his debut to the big leagues. In a corresponding move, the team sent Tobias Myers back to Triple-A, and have designated outfielder Jared Oliva for assignment to […]

2026 Mets Draft: Reviewing the 27th overall pick

In 1983, as a consequence of left-hander Pete Falcone leaving the team as a free agent and signing with the Atlanta Braves, the Mets received Atlanta’s first round draft pick and a supplementary first round pick as compensation. After drafting third baseman Eddie Williams with the 4th overall pick, they used their additional first round […]

Mets Morning News: Mets rally late to take down Royals

Meet the Mets The Mets rallied for five runs with two outs in the eighth inning to win 6-2 against the Royals. Brett Baty delivered the big hit with the bases loaded to drive in two to extend the Mets’ lead. Unlike in the previous game, the team managed to hold on to the lead […]

Mets Daily Prospect Report, 7/9/26: Rehab alert!

Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (38-37/7-7) GAME ONE: SYRACUSE 9, NORFOLK 3 / 7 (BOX) Game one of their doubleheader was a drubbing, as the Mets went up in the top of the first and held the lead throughout. Christian Arroyo and Cristian Pache drove in those runs in the first, on an RBI double and single […]

Five-run eighth propels Mets to 6-2 victory over Royals

We’ve seen a lot of long, frustrating losses this season. Last night’s 16-12 offensive barrage was unique even for the 2026 Mets. Following that monstrosity of a baseball game, tonight’s affair was blissfully, mercifully fairly normal in comparison. It was a fairly low-scoring evening until a sudden offensive barrage in the eighth inning, and the […]
