Mets should target Brandon Woodruff for future rotation

Even when you think you have enough starting pitching, the rigors of a 162-game season often test that to the limit. The obvious key to overcoming that is not just depth, but quality depth. That is an area that the Mets were seriously lacking in 2023, a weakness exposed first by injuries and then at [...]

Carlos Mendoza’s list of what needs to be changed

Twice previously, there’s been an article here with a similar title. The first was when the Mets hired Mickey Callaway. And the second one was when they hired Carlos Beltran. There wasn’t one for Buck Showalter, because he was a veteran manager who knew all the angles. But now we’re back to a first-time hire [...]

The Mets’ ‘competitive’ and ‘opportunistic’ offseason with a multi-year timeline

A lot can change in a year, especially when things don’t go according to plan. Coming off a 101-win season in 2022, the Mets went all-out in spending money to compete for a World Series title. But injuries and poor performances by multiple players sank that plan and the Mets decided to pivot, trading older [...]

Mets say hello to Carlos Mendoza and goodbye to Adam Ottavino

There are conflicting reports if the Mets made their move before or after the Cubs. Many assumed that Counsell was going to wind up in [...]

The challenges facing the Mets this offseason

When legendary labor leader Marvin Miller devised the free agent system that Major League Baseball still uses today (with some tweaks along the way), the framework of the system created an “exclusive rights” period during which teams could negotiate with their players to whom free agency was an option.  Originally, a 10-day window, this year [...]

How the Mets’ 40-man roster shapes up in early November

The Mets announced a bunch of moves yesterday, including one or two that seem surprising. While it was expected for Carlos Carrasco to declare for free agency and Omar Narvaez to exercise his option to remain with the club, the Mets also waived six players. Those were: Peyton Battenfield, John Curtiss, Elieser Hernandez, Bryce Montes [...]

Mets shouldn’t rule out internal candidates in new managerial search

One of the most important things to do this offseason for the New York Mets is clearly hiring their new manager for the 2024 season. With the 2023 season over exactly one month ago, after missing the playoffs, the Mets have already been busy, looking at possible managerial candidates. The biggest name so far has [...]
