Luis Robert Jr. is making steady progress in his rehab assignment, slashing .571 with two hits and a homer in his first two games with Double-A Binghamton — a stark contrast to his earlier struggles in Triple-A. While no return date is set, he could use the full 20-day window, and when he comes back, he’ll likely face stiff competition from rookie A.J. Ewing, who’s batting .286 but struggles again...

Nolan McLean pitched a gutsy six innings against the Red Sox, keeping the game close with two unearned runs — one thanks to a first-inning error, the other erased by a stellar catch at the plate. He battled through a tense fifth inning, striking out and grounding out runners in scoring position, then finally got a clean sixth. Despite his resilience, he left the game with his team trailing — and h...

Clay Holmes is back on the mound for the first time since breaking his leg in May, tossing a rehab outing against Marcus Semien — who’s also injured — and striking out every batter. While not yet game-ready, Holmes remains a high-value trade asset for the Mets as the deadline nears, with his expiring contract and proven starting ability making him a sought-after rental. Though he’s focused solely...

The Red Sox’s flight from Chicago got stuck for 17 hours, forcing a late Friday departure and a 35-minute delay to their Mets game — but the showdown still happened, live on Apple TV+. Players joked about the food and chaos, but stayed focused as the team raced to Citi Field. With a winning streak on the line and a packed schedule ahead, the bullpen’s endurance could be tested — all while fans got...

The Red Sox battled chaos en route to New York, facing weather delays, mechanical issues, and a six-hour plane layover—finally landing just in time for a 7:50 PM game against the Mets after a 35-minute delay and 20-minute equipment scramble. It’s not their first rodeo: a similar Denver nightmare last month left them in Boston at 5 AM, yet they still powered through with a winning streak. With Citi...

The Mets are riding a hot streak into the All-Star break, winning two of three against the Royals with a blistering 25-run offensive explosion — their first series win in a month. Despite a 40-54 record, the team’s resurgence is fueled by key hitters, especially Bo Bichette, who’s hitting .303 with 5 RBIs and 4 runs in 8 games this month. He played all three Royals games, including a clutch RBI si...

Mets’ rising star Mark Vientos is sidelined for six to eight weeks after fracturing his hand in a pitch, avoiding surgery — a major relief. His absence cuts short his promising first half and impacts his second, with a return likely in late August or mid-September. A key piece of the Mets’ long-term puzzle since 2017, Vientos was hitting 11 homers and driving in 35 runs before the injury. The team...

The Mets are scrambling at second base as Marcus Semien’s slump and injury threaten his future with the team, while Brett Baty’s defensive versatility can’t fully compensate for his underwhelming stats. With Bo Bichette and A.J. Ewing sidelined at their primary positions, GM David Stearns may opt for a platoon with Semien against lefties, but long-term solutions like Mitch Voit are still years awa...

The Mets’ rebuilding season just got a major setback as top prospect Mark Vientos fractured his hand after being hit by a pitch, sidelining him for 6-8 weeks. Already struggling with a .211 batting average, 11 homers, and 35 RBIs this year, Vientos now faces an uphill battle to reclaim his spot in the Mets’ future plans — and the team may need to look elsewhere for power.

Clay Holmes, the Mets’ unlikely ace and one of their few bright spots this season, is open to staying — even as the team sinks toward oblivion, 15 games back in the division and 12 out of a wild card spot. Recovering from a fractured fibula, he’s aiming to return before the season ends and is willing to be part of the turnaround. With a player option for $12M next year, he holds leverage — he coul...

The Mets are making waves ahead of their big series against the Red Sox, calling up veteran infielder Zack Short and righty Tobias Myers while sending pitcher Dan Hammer to the minors and placing Mark Vientos on the injured list with a fractured hand. With Opening Day vibes brewing at Citi Field, fans are watching closely to see if Short can seize his moment—and whether these moves will give the M...

Mets take a hit as Mark Vientos goes down with a fractured hand, sidelined 6-8 weeks, but there’s good news: Clay Holmes is throwing live BP and inching closer to a return. Vientos’ absence opens up first base for Eric Wagaman, while Holmes’ progress could make him a trade asset before the deadline.

The Yankees are on the hunt for a catcher before the trade deadline, eyeing Luis Torrens for his affordable contract and right-handed bat, Ryan Jeffers for his solid performance despite injury and impending free agency, and the power-hitting Hunter Goodman—already with 27 homers—though his lower average makes him a riskier pick. With few options available, the decision hangs in the balance as the...

The Mets could be flipping Luis Robert Jr. before the trade deadline — a potential blockbuster if he returns healthy after his April back injury. With A.J. Ewing stepping up in the outfield, Robert’s role is shrinking, but his $20M salary and recent offensive flashes make him a hot commodity. If he lights up post-All-Star-break, expect a bidding war — maybe landing a top-10 prospect instead of a t...

The Mets are in full sell mode, letting go of five players in just four days as injuries pile up and roster moves accelerate — including Dan Hammer, called up and out before he even stepped on the field. With a dismal 40-54 record and key players like Vientos, Semien, and Megill sidelined, the team’s rebuilding efforts are hitting roadblocks. The All-Star break looms, and with the trade deadline f...

The Mets are eyeing a trade before the deadline, with an under-the-radar injured pitcher emerging as a potential asset—his health could make him a steal for a NL Central team, even as he battles frustration on the sidelines.

The Mets and Red Sox collide this weekend at Citi Field in a fiery rematch of their legendary 1986 World Series, both teams under .500 but hungry to turn their seasons around before the All-Star break. Sonny Gray faces Nolan McLean in Game 1, with tickets shockingly cheap—some as low as $20—and giveaways galore, including t-shirts, replica jerseys, and kid sunglasses (limited to 5K). The Mets are...

From the 18th round of the 2023 MLB Draft to a College World Series champion’s bullpen, Gavyn Jones’ journey proves that patience and persistence pay off. After turning down the Mets, he bounced between Texas Tech, community college, and Oklahoma, refining his stuff and proving his worth. By 2026, he was a key cog in OU’s title run, tossing scoreless innings in the championship series — a testamen...

The Mets just designated pitcher Dan Hammer for assignment — called up yesterday from Triple-A but never got to pitch — as part of a whirlwind roster shakeup that’s seen five players moved in four days. Hammer, a former Oriole prospect, had a solid Triple-A run (1.77 ERA, 21 Ks in 20+ innings) but walked 17 batters, possibly tipping the scales. With bullpen fatigue and roster optimization in mind,...

Mark Vientos is headed to the injured list after breaking his right hand on a 92 mph fastball, ending his brief resurgence at third base — a role he’d only just begun to carve out this season. The Mets, already weighing his limited role, now face an uncertain recovery timeline as they assess whether surgery is needed. Despite the blow, the team rallied behind Tyrone Taylor’s game-tying homer to se...

Mets could be sellers at deadline, but Clay Holmes might be the exception — injury sidelined, yet open to a big extension. At 33, he’s posted elite numbers (2.39 ERA this year before injury) and wants to stay to help turn things around. With a $12M player option in 2027, talks could hit $60-75M over 3 years. He’s throwing bullpens and could be back in live BP by mid-July — making him a rare trade...

The Mets face a high-stakes draft with their 27th overall pick, limited bonus pool, and no second or fifth-round selections—forcing them to gamble big on one player. With a history of favoring athletic, projectable talent, they’re now staring at flawed hitters and must decide: go for a high-upside college pitcher or risk a flawed hitter. The clock’s ticking, and this pick could define their future...
