Joe talks about Mets pitching prospects, and why starting Eric Young Jr. over Juan Lagares is lunacy.
One of the fun parts about spring training is that there is always a group of pitchers vying for a coveted spot in the Opening Day bullpen. While that may not sound very exciting on paper, the mix of veterans looking for one last go-around in the show and young up-and-comers trying to open up eyes and prove themselves worthy makes for a great competition for the seven bullpen spots. For the purposes of this…
Joe talks about Jon Niese‘s upcoming shoulder MRI, Nelson Cruz vs. Chris Young and Nick Franklin.
One of the most beautiful things about the business side of baseball is that there is no salary cap, and save for some revenue sharing, is a good example of free-market capitalism at work. The purpose of this article is neither to sing the praises of nor denounce free-market capitalism – politics and sports go about as well together as peanut butter and tuna fish. But in order to proceed forward with the rest of…
Mets 360′s own Jim O’Malley swings by at the Queens Baseball Classic to talk Mets baseball and more.
With the dawn of the 2014 season on the horizon, many are buzzing about the pending graduation of top prospects Noah Syndergaard and Rafael Montero to the major leagues. Not to be outdone, there is another crop of young players who have less recognizable names poised to launch themselves into the upper echelon of the Mets farm system. We’ve all heard the names of Steven Matz, Jacob deGrom, Jack Leathersich, Michael Fulmer and perhaps even…

Four days have now passed since the passing of the legendary original Mets broadcaster Ralph Kiner at the age of 91. Since then, there have been numerous tributes written by bloggers and spoken by broadcasters in remembrance of the beloved baseball lifer. I’m only 21 years old. I don’t remember seeing more than one or two editions of Kiner’s Korner. Most of the time I experienced Kiner in the booth, it was during his guest…
I’m sorry for the delay in getting this episode up, my internet was down all day yesterday. I present to you (one day late) the chat I had with the very #Elite Jon Presser of The Shea Faithful at the Queens Baseball Convention. If you like Jeff Keppinger, you’ll love this episode.
Cash strapped, embroiled in a lawsuit because of their involvement with Bernard Madoff, losing tens of millions of dollars every year and overseeing a disapointing on-field product, Mets ownership needed help. They looked to sell a $200 million stake in the team to raise money. In May 2011, Mets ownership announced that after vetting out all interested candidates, they had agreed to sell a minority stake in the team to David Einhorn. Einhorn spent the…
As you may remember, a while ago Brian Joura hosted a podcast for Mets 360, which eventually went away. We are proud to announce that as of the Queens Baseball Convention two weeks ago, it is back with yours truly as the host. I sat down with a lot of great guests there and will be putting up those episodes in the coming weeks. Until then, enjoy our first episode back, where I’m joined by…
Keith Law, prospect guru of ESPN, released his rankings of all 30 MLB farm systems yesterday, with the Mets system coming in sixth. Only the Astros, Twins, Pirates, Cubs and Red Sox ranked higher. The pitching depth that the Mets have been able to add coupled with the hauls from the R.A. Dickey and Marlon Byrd trades contributed to the high ranking. Last year, the Mets system ranked 14th, and in 2012, 22nd. Law had…
