A few days ago, Brian Joura posted a poll asking how the best way for the Mets to add a top-of-the-rotation starter would be, and 73% of respondents said they would rather the team do so through free agency instead of through a trade or international posting. With a market containing Corbin Burnes, Max Fried [...]
The Mets’ Juan Soto pursuit took its next step, with a contingent including the manager, PoBO and owner meeting with Soto and agent Scott Boras. According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, the meeting took place “at an undisclosed location somewhere near Newport Beach, Calif., in a very clandestine manner.” Two things to [...]
The Mets won 89 games and advanced to the NLCS in 2024 and because of that, expectations will be high in 2025. But there’s the possibility they overachieved last year, even if their Pythagorean Record was only one win worse than their actual one. Even if that’s not the case, the Mets have a bunch [...]

Each comes with their own pros and cons, which makes opting for one over the other not a cut-and-dried choice. Let’s look at the top contenders: Free Agency Whether you like [...]
It took us two chances - because the first one ended with the two remaining players both losing- but we finally have a winner in the 2024 Survivor Pool. PA Player - my brother Dennis - sweated out a Chiefs win in overtime, while last year's winner, JD420 (John Dvorak) lost in the final minutes, [...]
The Mets extended the Qualifying Offer (QO) to three players – Pete Alonso, Sean Manaea and Luis Severino. Since there were only 13 players in all of MLB to receive the QO, this seems like a notable thing. The players have until 4 p.m. Eastern on Nov. 19 to make their decision. Two of them [...]

A team with money should always have a good DH. The National League used the DH in all 60 games in 2020 before going back to using it in AL parks only the following year. But since 2021, we’ve had a universal DH and the Mets haven’t been so great in the DH department, despite [...]
