For the most part, fans don’t want to admit how much luck – or good fortune if the word luck annoys you – plays in the game. My opinion is that players and front offices have a better understanding of that. Here’s a snippet of an interview with Taylor Tankersley, a veteran reliever that the [...]
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 [...]
The Mets drafted Michael Conforto in the first round in 2014 and the next year he was hitting home runs in the World Series. Conforto was an excellent draft pick for the Mets but how have they done drafting since then? Let’s look at their drafts over the past 10 years to find out. 2015 [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
