Here on the last day of January there are still plenty of good free agents available. Still, eight of the top 10 free agents from MLBTR are off the board and the top two players rumored to be available via trade have switched teams. So, it seems like a good time to check in on [...]
It was a tough week for fans of the 2015 Mets, the last team in club history to make the World Series. The Mets traded away Steven Matz and Daniel Murphy announced his retirement. Let’s check in on the guys who were active for the World Series in '15 and see where they all are [...]
Generally, my opinion of Sandy Alderson is higher than a lot of the people reading this. But one of the things that’s important to do, regardless of where you stand on a player, coach or executive, is to try and acknowledge both their strengths and weaknesses. In my view, Alderson is smart, disciplined and not [...]
Topps has announced that Fernando Tatis Jr. will be the first card in their 2021 set. Since 2016, Topps has collected a community vote to decide the top spot. Trout is the only player to have won that vote twice, in '16 and '20. It's fathomable that Tatis could join Trout one day. He's only [...]
My thought coming into this college basketball season was that this NC State Wolfpack team was going to surprise a lot of people. My expectation was to write about them regularly and even have a Game Chatter or two, especially when the Pack played UVA, the alma mater of two former Mets360 writers. But then [...]
The most interesting players are the ones where avid followers can disagree without taking obscure or purely theoretical positions. In recent years, Mets fans here have had these discussions with Wilmer Flores, Juan Lagares, Zack Wheeler and others. If the computer models are any indication, we’ll soon have another player to add to the list [...]
In a move that seems to suggest a big signing is in the cards, the Mets dealt Steven Matz to the Blue Jays for Sean Reid-Foley and two minor leaguers. Matz was terrible in the shortened 2020 season but was a league-average pitcher in both 2018 and 2019. He's under contract at a reasonable rate [...]
Please use this thread to discuss any Mets-specific topic you wish.
In the Saturday, January 23 New York Post, there was an article by Ken Davidoff, whose headline proclaimed “Trevor Bauer’s dark social media episode should disqualify him from the Mets.” The incident in question involved a January 2019 twitter argument with a female college student. Bauer apparently posted publicly available photos of the student consuming [...]
Steven A Cohen has started off his ownership with a bang. The trade for Francisco Lindor and Carlos Carrasco, plus the signing of James McCann, has significantly improved the Mets overall quality. Lindor is 15-20 runs better defensively than Amed Rosario and a better hitter as well. McCann’s defense is better than the Mets catchers [...]
The first venture into our brave new world
When Mets360 first launched in January of 2010, the goal was to be the biggest Mets site around. It's safe to say that didn't happen. However, we've had tremendous growth from that first year, where we could count the readers some days on the fingers of two hands. The last three months of 2020 was [...]
