As of today, the Stephen Drew free agent market is in a holding pattern, waiting to land in one of what appears to be two destinations; Boston or New York. In essence, Drew has become this year’s Michael Bourn, a quality major league player left with limited suitors. The Mets may be in very good [...]
Catcher: Travis d’Arnaud – I don’t think of d’Arnaud as a prospect. At this point he’s in the majors, but he does have the prospect tag based on limited service time. You may recall his offensive line from 2013 and worry about his .202/.286/.263 but you also have to look at his full resume and [...]
Murray Chass may have retired from the New York Times in 2008, but that hasn’t stopped him from sharing his baseball opinions with people through his blog. In a post on Thursday, he implored Baseball Hall of Fame voters to not reward managers of players who used performance enhancing drugs like Joe Torre and Tony [...]

The Mets reportedly failed to get top pitching prospect Eduardo Rodriguez from the Orioles in return for Ike Davis. The conundrum seems to be that the Mets still see value in Davis, while most team see Davis for what he is: a guy who hits dingers and really doesn’t do anything else all that well. [...]

The Mets have spent some real money in 2013 to prepare for 2014. They signed Curtis Granderson ($15 Mil Per), Bartolo Colon ($10 Mil Per) and Chris Young ($7.25 Mil). That’s a $32.5 Mil investment in 2014! I wonder if we scour the signings if we might find a way to spend that money a [...]
The Mets have claimed Ryan Reid off waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates. Reid appeared in seven games for the Pirates last season. He threw 11 innings. He had a 1.64 ERA and a 1.091 WHIP. He stands 5'11" and weighs 210 lbs. He throws right-handed and is 28 years old. He’s got four pitches: a [...]

Travis d’Arnaud: to stay healthy and to start to live up to the hype. Daniel Murphy: to keep improving your fielding and [...]
As the year comes to an end, MLB rosters continue to take shape this offseason. The Mets have made their dent in the reconstructing process thus far by acquiring Chris Young, Curtis Granderson, and Bartolo Colon. These signings will probably be viewed as the key acquisitions going into Spring Training, which is still more than [...]
