What a difference a year makes. This time last season, there were a ton of doubts surrounding Jay Bruce and what he would deliver for the Mets. Now he’s viewed as perhaps the surest bet there is among the team’s…
It’s been a tough past two seasons for Matt Harvey. After a triumphant comeback from TJ surgery in 2015, when he had a 2.71 ERA over 189.1 IP, Harvey has combined for 9-17 record with a 5.78 ERA in 185.1…
Somehow, someway Yoenis Cespedes has been flying under the radar. You hear about guys returning from injury and the focus is on the pitching staff. If it does turn to a hitter, it’s more likely to be about Michael Conforto…
Many feel that the Mets’ 2017 season essentially ended when Noah Syndergaard went on the disabled list. So, it stands to figure that a healthy 2018 from Syndergaard is crucial for the team’s hopes to make it back to the…
Late last night, the Padres signed Eric Hosmer to an 8/$144 contract, which only makes the 2/$17 deal the Mets inked Todd Frazier to look even better. And it looked pretty good the day that it was signed, too. Frazier…

Our Mets360 preseason projection review series now turns its attention to a trio of catchers in Travis d’Arnaud, Rene Rivera, and Kevin Plawecki. Like the 2017 infield, there were questions surrounding the breakdown of playing time for the team’s catching…
Next up in our preseason projection review series is Yoenis Cespedes, slugger extraordinaire. Cespedes predictably opted out of the short-term deal he signed with the Mets at the end of the 2016 season, once again becoming a free agent. The…
Next up in our preseason projection review series is a trio of infielders in David Wright, Jose Reyes, and Wilmer Flores. The Mets’ infield picture heading into the 2017 season was a bit muddied in terms of who played where…
The next player in our preseason projection review series is our last pitcher, Steven Matz. Matz was quite good in the parts of two seasons he did pitch heading into the 2017 campaign, including his efforts for the team as…
Curtis Granderson is next up in our preseason projection review series. Granderson was the last of the veterans shipped out last summer when he was traded to the Dodgers for relief prospect Jacob Rhame in August. The big unknown heading…
