It was a good news/bad news type of year for Steven Matz in 2018. The good news is that he was healthy and made a career-high 30 starts. The bad news is that after enjoying good fortune in the first half of the season, Matz didn’t have quite the same luck after the break and [...]
Mickey Callaway’s rookie managerial season skippering the Mets had some ups, and a lot of downs. He and the team had a sizzling start, then a dreadful June, before rallying to a respectable pace the latter part of the year. Perhaps the low point for Callaway was the infamous lineup mixup in Cincinnati that likely [...]
Once upon a time, in 2016, there was a left-handed pitching prospect named Thomas Szapucki. He pitched 52 innings between the Kingsport Mets and Brooklyn but set the scouting world abuzz with 86 strikeouts and a WHIP securely beneath 1.000 overall. Then, injury seemed on the horizon and his 2017 season was held to under [...]

The average fan has a warped view of Scott Boras. They see him as arrogant, even by Sith Lord standards, and somehow think if he wasn’t around that ticket prices would go back to 1970 levels. It doesn’t help that he looks like the relative with obnoxious political views who always corners you at family [...]
The New York Mets have seemed to do all but rule out going for a splash one of the extremely highly-priced free agent this offseason. You already have heard their names too many times this offseason, so I won’t mention them for the sake of your sanity. What I will mention however is that the [...]
The game's most underappreciated superstar. And did you know he was a high school basketball teammate of Bill Russell?
On these pages, all winter long, Mets 360 writers and contributors (and what a knowledgeable bunch we are) have dissected and debated every move our bold new general manager has made. Brian and others were not on board with the big Seattle trade - either because they find Robinson Cano's contract hard to swallow or [...]
One can make the argument that Wilson Ramos was the Mets’ third choice as catcher. There was a couple of tons of virtual ink spilled on the pursuit of J.T. Realmuto and there was also the 4/$60 contract offer to Yasmani Grandal. In a perfect world, you could understand why the Mets operated the way [...]
Brodie Van Wagenen in just one hundred days has certainly instilled a sense of confidence for the Mets in 2019. The new GM’s “big offseason splash” came in the form of many quality big leaguers destined to help fix the team’s weakest points, but was it enough to justify this confidence? Having confidence in your [...]
While free agents and owners are at an impasse, dialogue has opened between the players union and the league regarding some potential rule changes. While the merits of curbing the shift, installing a between pitch time clock, limiting September roster sizes and the number of pitchers a team may carry are all up for debate, [...]
Robert Gsellman will likely pitch meaningful innings for the New York Mets in 2019 among inevitable injuries or slumps. With the season right around the corner, the Mets are looking forward to showcasing their revitalized bullpen which has become a necessity in a competitive division. They’ve assembled a formidable relief core this offseason, bringing in [...]
