2026 Minor League Preview: Binghamton Rumble Ponies

First Half Record: 45-22 (1/6, Eastern League Northeast Division) Second Half Record: 45-24 (1/6 Eastern League Northeast Division) The Binghamton Rumble Ponies began the season with a higher concentration of Mets top prospects than any other team in the system, beginning the year with Jett Williams, Jonah Tong, Nolan McLean, Ryan Clifford, and Nick Morabito […]

Mets Morning News: Ugh

Meet the Mets The Mets have now lost three in a row, as David Peterson simply didn’t have it in the team’s series opener in San Francisco last night. The Mets’ lineup continued to disappoint, too, in what wound up being a 7-2 loss. Choose your recap: Amazin’ Avenue, Newsday, New York Post The new […]

Mets Daily Prospect Report, 4/3/26: Syracuse slammed, St. Lucie loses

Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (3-2) TOLEDO 17, SYRACUSE 7 (BOX) Well, Jonah Tong’s second Triple-A start didn’t go as well as his first. The 22-year-old didn’t make it out of the second inning as he surrendered seven runs, four of them earned. The Syracuse bullpen didn’t fare any better than that the rest of the way, […]

Mets struggle in San Francisco with yet another loss

The Mets came into their series against the Giants already scuffling a bit. They had just lost two straight games to the Cardinals, sitting at an even 3-3 record six games into the season. David Peterson was coming off a solid first start of the season against the Pirates, facing off against former Cy Young […]

2026 Minor League Preview: Brooklyn Cyclones

First Half Record: 46-20 (1/6, South Atlantic League North Division) Second Half Record: 26-39 (5/6, South Atlantic League North Division) The Brooklyn Cyclones had a pretty uneven 2025 season. In the first-half, the team was untouchable, steamrolling through the rest of the South Atlantic League on the power of timely hitting and great pitching and […]

2026 Minor League Preview: St. Lucie Mets

2025 First Half Record: 34-31 (1/4, Florida State League East Division) 2025 Second Half Record: 43-22 (1/4 Florida State League East Division) Over the last few years, the St. Lucie Mets weren’t a particularly great team. That changed last season, as the team won the Florida State League East Division with a not-exactly-dominant 34-31 record, […]

Ice cold Mets visit not-so-hot Giants for a four-game series

Coming off a disappointing series in St. Louis that saw them win just one of three games against a rebuilding team, the Mets (3-3) are set to visit AI Layoffs Park for a four-game series with the similarly struggling Giants (2-4). After scoring eleven runs on Opening Day in a game that saw them knock […]

Mets Morning News: Where has all the offense gone?

Meet the Mets One day after getting shut out, the Mets could only muster one run in the finale to drop the series against the Cardinals. All their offense came off a solo home run by Juan Soto that followed Francisco Lindor getting picked off. They still had a chance to redeem themselves in both […]

Mets Daily Prospect Report, 4/2/26: Wenninger shines in Syracuse debut

Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (3-2) SYRACUSE 4, TOLEDO 2 (BOX) Jack Wenninger made the first Triple-A start of his career, and things went very well, as he didn’t lalow any runs, struck out five, walked one, and gave up five hits in four-and-two-thirds innings. Joey Gerber was the only Syracuse pitcher to give up any runs […]

Mets Morning News: Shutout (No foolin’)

Meet the Mets The Mets suffered their second loss of the season, losing 3-0 to the Cardinals and being held to just three hits. Senga had a great start, giving up just two runs in the third inning and going six full innings with three walks and an impressive nine strikeouts. Richard Lovelady made another […]

Mets Daily Prospect Report, 4/1/26: Rain and Rochester ruin return

Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (2-2) ROCHESTER 5, SYRACUSE 1 / 7 (BOX) Thanks to a pair of errors by Ji Hwan Bae—though Carl Edwards didn’t help himself by walking a pair of batters and allowing five balls to be put in play—the Red Wings jumped out to an early 5-0 lead in the top of the […]

Senga’s first start goes well, but Mets waste it

Kodai Senga’s first start of the season went well, but the Mets’ lineup was lifeless as the team lost 3-0 to the lowly Cardinals tonight in St. Louis. It’s hard to come out of seeing your team get shut out by an unimpressive cast of pitchers, but let’s start with the positive. Senga continued to […]

Mets hire J.D. Martinez as special advisor

The Mets have hired J.D. Martinez as a special advisor, a role that will see him working with players in the organization in a similar way that Carlos Beltrán has in recent years, according to Tim Healey. One of the best hitters of his generation, Martinez spent his final major league season with the Mets […]

Red Birds at Night, New York Delight

The Mets defeated the Cardinals 4-2 at Busch Stadium in the Mets’ first road game of the year. Francisco Lindor led off the game against Kyle Leahy and continued his aggressive early season play, legging out a triple to right field. Bo Bichette would drive him in with a ground out to put the Mets […]

The Mets’ bullpen is already a problem

The Mets are (probably) one better third-base coach decision away from being 3-0 on the young season, but there’s an issue that has already reared its head in all three games of 2026 thus far: the bullpen.  Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, but the Mets are coming off a season where their […]

Monday Stat Party: A-Benge-rs Assemble!

Welcome back to Monday Stat Party, a weekly series showcasing the most curious and nostalgia-inducing statistical developments from the past week of Mets baseball. These can be as high-profile as becoming the youngest MLB player to homer, steal, and walk on Opening Day, or as obscure as setting a team record for the most double-digit […]

Sean Manaea’s velocity gives the Mets a tough early problem to solve

In watching Sean Manaea’s 2026 debut from the stands at Citi Field, it looked like the likable lefty was getting away with something against the Pirates. Velocity isn’t everything when it comes to pitching, but it definitely matters. Manaea averaged 89 miles per hour with his fastball yesterday afternoon, and his sweeper averaged just 75 […]
