Anyone who’s read this site for awhile knows you’ll get strong opinions on players from me. But those opinions aren’t written in stone. Two offseasons ago, the Mets acquired Tommy Pham and immediately my opinion formed that he wasn’t any good. Yet, his play eventually demanded that opinion of mine to change, so much so [...]
It’s no secret that the Mets need pitching and fortunately for them, there are three avenues where they can import a top-of-the rotation hurler. 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, [...]

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 [...]
With three starting pitchers who are now free agents and the Mets at least somewhat likely to use a 6-man rotation for Kodai Senga, the Mets need starters. It’s likely that at least one of the free agents returns for 2025. After that – who knows? The rumors have surrounded Corbin Burnes and Max Fried, [...]
In addition to all of the free agents the Mets have, the team also has eight players eligible for arbitration. MLB Trade Rumors has published its estimates for what salary the players would receive. Let’s use that and discuss all eight players and if the Mets should tender them a contract at that price point. [...]
Yesterday, The Athletic’s Keith Law released his top 50 free agents column, which included six Mets. Here’s how Law described the list: This is my ranking of the top 50 free agents on the market, given what we know now and what seems most likely to happen in the next week or so. I ranked [...]
Nearly everyone wants the Mets to bring back Sean Manaea, who they signed last year to a one-year deal with a player option, one which he’ll officially decline as soon as he’s able. Much like with Pete Alonso, it’s fine to want a guy back. But there has to be a point, either in years [...]
A brutal start last week was followed up by a strong finish
