Thank goodness for Carson Benge and A.J. Ewing
For all of the things that have gone wrong for the Mets season—and if we want to talk about anything else, let’s just leave it at that, lest we spend 1000 words outlining the various failures—the promotion and performance of both Carson Benge and A.J. Ewing has been a bright spot. And in a season […]
Mets Player Performance Meter: Pitchers, June 15-28
It was an ugly couple of weeks for the New York Mets’ starting pitchers, while the bullpen continued to come through. New York starters got shelled repeatedly, and the longest-tenured Met, David Peterson, was shipped out to greener pastures before he could have another clunker performance in the Orange and Blue. Freddy Peralta had a […]

Where does Carlos Mendoza rank in Mets managerial history?
Former New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza’s tenure came to an unceremonious end last week, with little more than a passive-voice social media post and a combative press conference with General Manager David Stearns. With the team coming off an embarrassing series against the Chicago Cubs and officially falling into the depths of the wild […]
A Pod of Their Own, Episode 280: Oh my God we’re having a fire….sale
Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space. This week, a lot happened in Metsland. They traded David Peterson and departed ways with manager Carlos Mendoza, who was […]
Mets Morning News: Bo Canada
Meet the Mets A first inning misplay by Juan Soto in left field resulted in a George Springer little league home run and sunk the Mets from the jump. New York could not recover and ended up falling 2-1 to the Blue Jays in the series opener. Francisco Lindor did hit his first home run […]
The Mets’ wilting offense cost them another game
After another series loss to the Phillies, the Mets headed north to take on the Blue Jays in Toronto. Bo Bichette was making his return to the Rogers Centre after six-plus seasons as a member of the Blue Jays. Sean Manaea was getting the start against the Mets, facing off against rookie phenom Trey Yesavage. […]

Mets recall Joey Gerber, option Tobias Myers to Triple-A
With the Mets in need of some fresh arms in the bullpen, the club recalled right-hander Joey Gerber from Syracuse. To make room on the roster, the team options Tobias Myers to Triple-A. This move was necessary because the club used Cionel Perez, Tobias Myers, and Kodai Senga yesterday, and it was unlikely that any […]
Mets Player Performance Meter: Position Players, June 15-28
The Mets had an eventful and generally brutal two weeks. The team had a 3-10 record since the last player meter and saw manager Carlos Mendoza fired and replaced with Andy Green on an interim basis. It wasn’t all terrible, as Juan Soto continued his domination, and the rookie outfielders Carson Benge and AJ Ewing […]
Monday Stat Party: Spider Webs and Scoreless Weavers
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 leave the country in search of some wins
The New York Mets (35-49) will grab their passports for their upcoming road trip as they head to Canada to face the defending AL Champion Toronto Blue Jays (39-45). The Mets opened up their home schedule in 2025 against the Blue Jays and swept them in a three-game set. The last time the Mets traveled […]
Can the Mets reset the luxury tax in 2027?
Betteridge’s law of headlines states that any headline written as a question can be answered in a single word – “no”. Unfortunately for the Mets, that likely holds true at a high level in this instance; it will be exceedingly hard to duck the tax in 2027. At a more granular level though, the answer […]
Mets Morning News: Glimmers of Hope
Meet the Mets The Mets lost two of three to Philadelphia over the weekend, but have no fear, things will surely get better when they head to Toronto and Atlanta this week. Choose your recap: Amazin’ Avenue, MLB.com, Newsday, New York Daily News, New York Post On Sunday morning, Clay Holmes was throwing off of […]
Mets Daily Prospect Report, 6/29/26: Mostly monotonous Mets
Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (38-37/4-2) SYRACUSE 5, LEHIGH VALLEY 4 (BOX) Manager Dick Scott went with something a little different, having reliever Dan Hammer start the game before bringing in starter Jack Wenninger, but the move didn’t seem to really have much of an impact- Hammer pitched a scoreless inning in the first and Wenninger was […]
Mets drop tough one in series finale
The Mets dropped their second one-run game against the Phillies this weekend, losing 5-4 to drop the series against their division rivals. In a game Gary Cohen aptly called “excruciating”, the Mets went 2-16 with runners in scoring position, leaving 14 men on base, in the loss. The beginning of the game had a much […]

Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (38-37/3-2) LEHIGH VALLEY 8. SYRACUSE 6 (BOX) Syracuse was leading, then gave up 6 runs in the bottom of the eighth. You can really feel the volume of organizational injuries looking at the Triple-A bullpen and it’s reflected in their performance. The rehabbing Jorge Polanco went hitless in three at bats. Double-A: Binghamton Rumble Ponies (27-42/1-4) […]
Mets Morning News: Everything is sunshine and rainbows after Mets snap seven-game skid

Francisco Lindor’s triple helps lift Mets over Phillies
Full disclosure I started writing this recap in the fifth inning when the team was down 2-0 and they couldn’t get any runs home against Alan Rangel, but as Shakespeare wrote I got hoisted on my own petard and the Mets surprisingly won 6-2. Speaking of Shakespeare, in Henry VI, in Part II, Act III […]

Mets activate Christian Scott, option Zach Thornton to Triple-A
Earlier today, the Mets re-instated Christian Scott from the 15-day injured list to make the start against the Phillies later this afternoon. In a corresponding move, the club options Zach Thornton to Triple-A. Scott made his last start exactly 15 days ago, when he allowed four earned runs over 4 2/3 innings against the Cardinals […]
Mets Daily Prospect Report, 6/27/26: You go Yonny
Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (38-37/3-1) SYRACUSE 4, LEHIGH VALLEY 3 / 10 (BOX) Jonah Tong still just doesn’t quite have it. Sure, he only gave up two runs, but the swing and miss isn’t there. The fastball has backed up. The breakers aren’t clicking. Just a lost season as he looks to find a consistent left-right option to […]
Mets Morning News: New manager, same result
Meet the Mets The Mets kicked off the Andy Green era with a 2-1 loss to the Phillies on Pride Night at Citi Field. Zach Thornton had a really impressive second major leagues start, pitching six innings of one-run ball, but the offense couldn’t do much against old friend Zack Wheeler. New York has now […]
