Love the Mets
According to David Stearns in a pre-spring training media session in Port St. Lucie, Francisco Lindor is seeing a specialist about a stress reaction in the hamate bone on his left hand. Surgery is on the table, which would have an approximately six week recovery time. The Mets believe that, even if surgery is required, […]
The Mets have reportedly added another reliever into the mix, acquiring left-handed pitcher Bryan Hudson from the White Sox for cash considerations. Chicago had designated Hudson for assignment back on February 4. To make room on the 40-man roster, the club transferred Reed Garett to the 60-day IL. Hudson was drafted by the Cubs in […]
Jack Wenninger (10) Steve says: We didn’t do sleeper prospects or anything like that last season, but Wenninger would have been mine. Even though his 2024 season was so-so, I ranked him 20th on my 2025 personal list based on the power of his control and strikeout stuff. This past season Wenninger continued showing that […]
The Mets’ bullpen in 2026 has a new look after some significant additions and subtractions. The team lost Edwin Díaz to the Dodgers, Tyler Rogers and Ryan Helsley both headed to the American League East, and Reed Garrett and Dedniel Nuñez will miss the season following Tommy John surgeries. The Mets have most notably added […]

Among the more interesting names are top prospects Carson Benge, Ryan Clifford, A.J. Ewing and Jack Wenninger. Veterans Craig Kimbrel, Austin Barnes, and Carl Edwards Jr. are among the players hoping to extend […]
Boston Baro (25) Steve says: Boston Baro had a solid 2024, establishing himself as a player to keep an eye on, but his progress and development took a backslide in 2025. He still has youth on his side but is currently being fueled more by how he has room to improve rather than how he […]
Earlier this winter, the Mets signed outfielder Cristian Pache to a minor league deal with an invite to spring training, a very standard offseason contract for a player looking to revitalize a stalled major league career. Pache, who last appeared in a major league game in 2024, will look to claim a roster spot after […]

The Mets and MJ Melendez agreed to a one year, $1.5m deal (with $500k in incentives) in the twilight of the 2026 offseason, giving the Mets another option to fill out their bench, and giving Melendez a legitimate shot to open the 2026 season on a Major League roster. According to Will Sammon of The […]
Last December, we took a look back at Jared Young’s 2025. It was an uneven affair, particularly at the major league level, but much of what made him an exciting minor league signing remained true. His Triple-A damage numbers were excellent, his approach solid, and his contact metrics viable enough to make him look like […]
Meet the Mets Anthony DiComo of MLB.com ran down the Mets’ biggest questions heading into spring training, including whether Carson Benge will break camp. Freddy Peralta and Clay Holmes were among the pitchers to throw batting practice in yesterday’s workout at Port St. Lucie. Around the National League East The Phillies signed free agent reliever […]

Having spent the entirety of his professional baseball career in the Dodgers organization until he signed a minor league deal with the Mets this offseason, José Ramos has yet to get a shot in the big leagues. And heading into his age-25 season, he seems most likely to begin the year in Triple-A Syracuse. After […]

Around the National League East The Phillies top three hitters in their lineup this year is bound to be Trea Turner, Kyle Schwarber, and Bryce Harper, but in what order?

The full rosters for the 2026 World Baseball Classic were revealed on Monday, featuring 17 different Mets players across the tournament’s 20 teams. It’s the most players the Mets have ever had rostered in a WBC, beating their previous record of 16 set in 2009 and matched in 2023. The following is a list of […]
With the recent moves made by David Stearns and the Mets, the team’s starting lineup has finally come into focus. As everyone’s positions and roles have become more clear as a result, so has the bench situation for the Mets, and it’s looking to be a fairly strong group, though the DH position is one […]
On January 21, 2026, Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat were traded to the Milwaukee Brewers. This list, and their place on it, was compiled back in late-November. For continuity’s sake, I decided upon including Williams and Sproat’s profile, but for all intents and purposes, every player on our list below the pair can be considered […]
Heading into a baseball season, you have to think about depth, even when it’s not particularly pleasant to do so. Take the signing of veteran Dodgers’ catcher Austin Barnes for example. For Austin Barnes to have a meaningful impact on the 2026 season, something has gone wrong for either Luis Torrens or, more problematically, Francisco […]
Meet the Mets It’s official: Francisco Lindor will not get to play for Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic for insurance reasons. Keith Hernandez and SNY have agreed to a three-year contact. With pitchers and catchers set to report next week and spring training games to follow not too long after that, Abbey Mastracco […]
