The Mets have spent some real money in 2013 to prepare for 2014. They signed Curtis Granderson ($15 Mil Per), Bartolo Colon ($10 Mil Per) and Chris Young ($7.25 Mil). That’s a $32.5 Mil investment in 2014! I wonder if we scour the signings if we might find a way to spend that money a [...]
The Mets have claimed Ryan Reid off waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates. Reid appeared in seven games for the Pirates last season. He threw 11 innings. He had a 1.64 ERA and a 1.091 WHIP. He stands 5'11" and weighs 210 lbs. He throws right-handed and is 28 years old. He’s got four pitches: a [...]

Here are my New Year wishes for some of our favorite Mets. David Wright: to stay healthy and get the support in the lineup you deserve. Matt Harvey: a quick and full recovery. Travis d’Arnaud: to stay healthy and to start to live up to the hype. Daniel Murphy: to keep improving your fielding and [...]
As the year comes to an end, MLB rosters continue to take shape this offseason. The Mets have made their dent in the reconstructing process thus far by acquiring Chris Young, Curtis Granderson, and Bartolo Colon. These signings will probably be viewed as the key acquisitions going into Spring Training, which is still more than [...]
2014 is six days away. Spring training isn’t far beyond that, and when April rolls around, anticipation will begin for the new baseball season. In the past two winters, hope was a missing word from most Mets fans vocabularies. One can’t have much hope when the discussion is all about how much playing time Mike [...]
2014 is right around the corner. With the page almost closed on 2013, focus is now onto new goals and resolutions for the year 2014. For the Mets, it is no different. 2013 seemed like just another year with no progress. Another sub .500 season and more fans becoming tired of waiting, but then the [...]
Friend of the site Howard Megdal recently wrote a piece detailing the dual career of announcer Kevin Burhkardt. The sideline reporter for SNY, Burkhardt is known to Mets fans as the guy who interrupts the flow of announcers Gary Cohen, Ron Darling and Keith Hernandez to file in-game reports that take too long, offer too [...]
The Mets have yet to find a partner for an Ike Davis trade. The theory that Davis would attract a suitor hoping to bag the next Chris Davis seems to have been overblown. Now, a deal could still happen and the Mets could wind up with a platoon of Lucas Duda and Josh Satin but [...]
Recently, there have been multiple reports that Scott Boras has been trying to warm the Mets to the idea of signing Stephen Drew and Kendrys Morales, but it seems that the Mets want to solve the First base situation internally. At this point, there seems to be a pressing need from the fans to upgrade [...]
Over the past five years or so, there hasn’t been a fan base more abused from within than that of the New York Mets. Or at least it seems like it. No doubt, there has been mischief done -- mostly unintentionally, one would hope – by the team’s ownership group, Fred & Jeff Wilpon and [...]
Let’s start this article by saying that if David Wright were ever to be traded away at some point during his extension, I do believe that Mets fans might riot in the middle of Citi Field. So this article will assume, and that is a crazy word, that Wright will live out his remaining contract [...]
