The Mets figured to have 2B as an area to focus on in the offseason once they traded Asdrubal Cabrera. But Jeff McNeil, who has always hit in the minors but who turned it up a notch with power this season, came to the big leagues and has continued his strong play. Now everyone is [...]
The Mets signed Jason Vargas coming off an All-Star season in 2017. But he got hurt at the end of Spring Training and struggled mightily upon his return. But in his last three starts, Vargas has been the guy that the Mets anticipated. Has he turned the corner?
Tonight’s All-Star game should be a treat. Mike Trout is every bit as good as the stars from the 1950s and 1960s who are recognized as the greats of the game. Jacob deGrom has put up a better first half than Tom Seaver in 1969 or 1971 or Dwight Gooden in 1985. We’ll get to [...]
Michael Conforto and Brandon Nimmo were both born in March of 1993. Nimmo joined the Mets’ organization first because he went into pro ball directly out of high school while Conforto spent three years in college. However, Conforto made the majors first, due mostly to his strong hitting in the minors but also because Nimmo [...]

The Mets picked up former overall number-one pick and five-time All Star Adrian Gonzalez during the offseason. The idea was that Gonzalez would allow Dominic Smith to get more seasoning at Triple-A after Smith came up last year and did not overwhelm either at the plate or in the field. In an injury-plagued season in [...]
The first four pitchers to start a game for the Mets in Grapefruit League play this season combined for 7 IP and 0 ER. Steven Matz failed to record an out in the second inning and finished with a line of 1 IP, 3 H, 5 ER, 2 BB and a K, with all of [...]
Does the fanbase still hate Jay Bruce?
Rumors are the lifeblood of the offseason and there's no better place for them than the Winter Meetings. There's been some buzz about Matt Harvey being on the block. At first we heard about him for an unspecified reliever. Now there's talk (supposedly not serious) about a swap of Harvey for Jurickson Profar, a middle [...]
MetsBlog recently ran this on potential trades: Perhaps the most interesting suggestion came from Gary Apple, who said the Mets should trade LHP Steven Matz, INF Wilmer Flores, and INF prospect Luis Guillorme to the Marlins for 2B Dee Gordon. Gordon is a good defensive second baseman and the Mets could surely use that. When [...]
