Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series, Episode 237: Dead Cat Bounce?
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. However, the huge gap between the Mets and the rest of the Wild Card teams means that, despite playing much, much better, things […]

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 close out first half schedule with three against the Red Sox
The New York Mets (40-54) go from a rematch of the 2015 World Series to a rematch of the 1986 World Series as they welcome the Boston Red Sox (43-48) to Citi Field for a three-game series. The Mets last faced Boston in May of 2025 at Fenway Park, with the Red Sox taking two […]

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.

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 […]

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 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 […]

Round 1 The Mets ended the 2024 season with an 89-73 record, making them eligible to make the 28th overall pick in the 2025 MLB Draft. Because their 2024 payroll exceeded the competitive balance tax threshold by more than $40 million dollars, their first selection dropped by 10 picks, meaning that their first selection instead […]
