Brandon Nimmo broke the Santa curse last year by turning in a fine season. So now he tempts fate by doing it twice in a row. Guess he's got some brass ones to go along with that million-dollar smile.
Besides the addition of a left-handed relief pitcher, the New York Mets are still a healthy right-handed hitting center fielder away from competing for a division crown. Their current power hitting right-handed outfielder, Yoenis Cespedes, will not be ready until at least the middle of the season, and Juan Lagares is as injury prone a [...]
The Mets entered this season with a number of roster holes; so many in fact, that you could make a case for tearing it down and rebuilding. In recent years, the Reds, White Sox, Blue Jays, Rangers, Tigers, Orioles, Royals, and, most recently, the Mariners, made the difficult decision to throw in the towel and [...]
The hot stove is in full effect and no division has been more active than the NL East. While the rebuilding Marlins continue trying to trade their catcher for three Hall of Famers and a team charter bus, the other four teams have jumped into the fray, making trades and signing free agents to improve [...]
For a while now, people have been arguing that if the Mets are to be built around pitching, they should have a strong defense up the middle. Meanwhile, the powers that be haven’t exactly subscribed to this idea. Playing guys like Asdrubal Cabrera and Wilmer Flores in the middle infield didn’t lead to Gold Gloves [...]
The game is trending younger which is why it was disappointing to me to actively trade for Robinson Cano for his age 36-40 seasons. But on top of the age issue is the pay issue. Cano is owed $120 million over those five seasons, with the Mariners sending $20 million to partially offset that huge [...]
Back in the last century the late comedian Rodney Dangerfield was known for his tag line “ I don't get no respect.” After the off-season that Mets infielder Jeff McNeil has endured, it would be no surprise if he felt the same way. McNeil, a rookie last year, was the Met second baseman for the [...]
Jacob deGrom is the best pitcher on the Mets. But that doesn’t mean he should be the club’s top priority to ink to a long-term extension. The Mets are in an awkward position with deGrom, as last year his agent very publicly asked for a long-term deal. And of course his agent last year is [...]

After a tense few weeks of possible lop-sided trades to land J.T. Realmuto, the Mets have wisely pivoted and signed a catching upgrade to a free agent contract without having to give up key players and prospects. Pending a physical, former Twin, Phillie, National and Ray, Wilson Ramos will be our catcher in 2019. The [...]
We are at the point where we are discussing some of the elite of Met prospects. In this trio we have two first round picks and one second round pick and it is interesting that the second rounder is ranked higher, despite being far lower within his development than the others. There are reasons for [...]
It has been a major topic of conversation, especially of late, that the Mets need to upgrade at the catching position. While this is something that is undisputable, catching was not the only position that saw a major lack of production. The Mets had a cast of nine characters suit up and start at third [...]
