2014 is right around the corner. With the page almost closed on 2013, focus is now onto new goals and resolutions for the year 2014. For the Mets, it is no different. 2013 seemed like just another year with no progress. Another sub .500 season and more fans becoming tired of waiting, but then the [...]
Curtis Granderson and Bartolo Colon were signed. Trade talks developed about Ike Davis and Daniel Murphy. All signs pointed to a willingness to “compete” in 2014. Now, with the Winter Meetings over and the march toward Spring Training continuing, it seems that figuring out the shortstop situation is next on the list. It seems that, [...]
The Mets are actively shopping Ike Davis and Daniel Murphy. But what they are asking for in return may be a surprise. According to multiple reports, when the Mets and Brewers discussed Ike Davis, the Mets asked the Brewers about their young, under control starting pitching. Most notably was pitcher Tyler Thornberg. This comes as [...]
Well Thanksgiving is only one day away, and it will be a much needed break from all the Mets news and rumors that has been circulating lately. It’s been a long off-season already, and the Winter Meetings haven’t even begun. Panic is setting in for many fans and they believe that no moves will be [...]
According to MetsBlog, sources close with the Brewers’ team thinking believes that Ryan Braun is more available in a trade than Norichika Aoki.

Some are actually logical and would help, and some are just laughable (one Twitter user [...]
The Mets have reached out to Rafael Furcal, according to multiple reports. Let’s put that on the list of things I’d never thought I would write. But, there is something of note to take out of this. This doesn’t mean that Rafael Furcal is the top priority for the Mets or that he’s their only [...]
Yesterday Jeff Wilpon made some comments about the upcoming offseason and the future of Mets baseball. What he said was nothing new and only added to the uncertainty over what this offseason will bring. He listed David Wright, Zack Wheeler, Dillon Gee and Jon Niese as the only players that are “locks” for the 2014 [...]
The Mets have a need for a veteran starting pitching for the back of the rotation. The pool to pick from isn’t filled with any studs. It doesn’t help that Tim Lincecum signed a new two year extension reported to be worth $35 million. Most Mets fans dream offseason included signing Lincecum on a small [...]
There has been a growing conversation among fans and reporters about the possibility of the Mets bringing back OF Carlos Beltran, although the organizations interest is unknown.
