Last week, Major League Baseball honored Jacob deGrom with his second consecutive Cy Young Award, a feat that had never been accomplished by a Met’s pitcher. Mets360 recently noted that deGrom actually ranks third behind Tom Seaver and Dwight Gooden in consecutive two year fWAR. This is certainly a testament to amazing performances by the [...]
In the recent article about J.D. Davis’ home splits, Brian raised the idea that Davis could be traded this offseason. A lot has been made about the Mets salary positioning and how it affects their ability to spend on free agents. While it is true that the Mets will likely not exceed the $160 million [...]
The Mets signed Jed Lowrie to a two year, $20 million dollar contract in the offseason in what was supposed to be a savvy veteran addition to supplement an already talented depth of infield. Instead, Lowrie has provided the Mets six feeble plate appearances as the club winds down the season. The funds committed to [...]
The Mets decided to forgo a trade of impending free agent Zack Wheeler at this year’s deadline which raised the question of what his role is to the club moving forward. At this stage their options are likely limited to a qualifying offer (which would yield a conditional draft pick if another team signs Wheeler) [...]
The Mets opened their baseball season 167 days ago and have been the subject of a lot of heartache and triumph since their 2-0 win against the Washington Nationals. And despite currently being four games back of a single game elimination playoff game (with four teams to pass), there is still a sense of excitement [...]
On Monday, Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo made his first start since May after recovering from a neck injury. The 26-year-old has come a long way from what he described when his neck “completely froze up.” In his first start back, Nimmo showed the club what he does best by getting on base three times via [...]
The Mets have enjoyed success from two of their offseason acquisitions of late. Both Justin Wilson and Jeurys Familia are holding their own when summoned into the game. After an abysmal four months of the season, the month of August has been kind to the Mets relievers and the returns have been bountiful. Their success [...]
Major League Baseball released the framework for the 2019 postseason yesterday, with the National League Wild Card game slated for October 1st. While the Mets are two games back from a claim to the playoffs, it is interesting to consider who would be part of such a game for the club. There are already reports [...]
The Mets are fresh off a 15-1 streak of winning baseball and there is certainly a lot of information to take in over that stretch of baseball. Amidst a number of dramatic and unlikely performances there is a full data set of everyday player’s statistics across what is essentially 10% of the baseball season. The [...]
While the list of available players at this stage of the season is not nearly as enticing as an incoming free agent list, there is something to be said about players who are on the market who could potentially make a positive impact for a playoff hopeful club. It’s important to note that the expectations [...]
The Mets made headlines ahead of today’s trade deadline by sending their top two pitching prospects to the Toronto Blue Jays for Marcus Stroman. Now, at first glance one might think that the Mets overpaid by giving up Anthony Kay and Simeon Woods Richardson for the veteran right hander. However, a deeper look reveals that [...]
Sometimes the best deals are the ones that never were, and sometimes teams are left kicking themselves for not shelling out extra to close a deal. The 2018-2019 offseason was an incredible failure of potentially gigantic proportions, however the front office will now be judged on how they handle the pending trade deadline and offseason. [...]
