The Mets have several areas where they need improvement going into 2019, especially the bullpen, but also the catching corps, and first base is iffy as well. One area of need that has not gotten much attention is utility infielder. They need a player good enough with the glove to backup Amed Rosario at shortstop, [...]
There are a number of players in this group who are really exciting and for the most part there are fewer and fewer “warts” to be worried about. Consider that there are three starting pitchers in Humphreys, Dibrell and Vilera who all have looked like Front-End starters at various points in their developments. Thanks to [...]

In January of 2018, we had a poll asking readers – How do you feel about the Jay Bruce signing? The breakdown was as follows: 46% - Happy to have him back on the Mets 32% - Okay with the move as long as they spend money to bring in an infielder, too 12% - [...]
The New York Mets, like many of their fans, love to get new toys around the holiday season. Cyber Monday has now eclipsed the popularity of Black Friday in US markets.

There are multiple solutions to every problem in baseball. My belief is that the first problem that the Mets should look to solve is the bullpen. My solution is to sign Craig Kimbrel and whatever solid free agent reliever is left in late January. But you could sign Jeurys Familia and David Robertson and that [...]

Casey Stengel is a beloved figure in Mets history. Shoot, my daughter Casey may or may not be named after him. Stengel was a baseball lifer. Those guys always get my respect but the difference between Stengel and your typical guy who stays involved in the game for 50-plus years was his wit and his [...]
