Dominic Smith spent the offseason trying to improve his speed and agility. Taijuan Walker changed everything about his cutter to get more depth and a little bit of cut on the pitch. J.D. Davis is working with Francisco Lindor to improve his throws to first base. For sure, one of the rites of spring are [...]
It’s been quite the eventful offseason for the Mets both in terms of the players they actually acquired and the numerous others they’ve reportedly been “in on.” Some of the non-moves, like losing out on George Springer to the Blue Jays and the seemingly 11th-hour change of heart (to put it kindly) from Trevor Bauer, [...]
It's been a busy off-season for the Mets and the front office has done an admirable job filling out the 40-man roster with talent, versatility, and depth. The offense, defense, bench, and rotation should all be significantly improved over last year and primed for a playoff run. But as history tells us, a weak bullpen [...]
There were high hopes coming into the 2020-21 season for the Wolfpack. However, Covid disruptions, injuries and a longer break-in period for the freshman than hoped for have all contributed to a disappointing season. However, the team seems to have finally found its footing, despite the season-ending injury to Devon Daniels, and nowhere was that [...]
It’s natural to have a fear of the unknown and in MLB, one of the unknowns for the 2021 season is how teams will handle a season where the top pitchers make 32 starts rather than 12 like they did in 2020. The trend throughout MLB history is to ask pitchers to do less and [...]

There are many reasons for optimism as the Mets get Spring Training underway here in 2021, perhaps none more so than new shortstop Francisco Lindor. He comes to the Mets in the prime of his career, with a million-dollar smile, a reputation as a two-way star and a 7.7 fWAR season under his belt. Expectations [...]
The Mets have had, by all accounts, a terrific offseason. Steve Cohen has done a particularly good job of improving the team on the field. Most projections put the Mets in the lead for the division crown and in a position to challenge for the World Series. Should the Mets be confident in that? Or [...]
Roster churn has always been part of the game; however, it seems like it’s been increasing the past few years. And that’s on an MLB-level. With the Mets, it seems like it’s in overdrive, especially in the past 12 months. Part of that was former GM Brodie Van Wagenen’s willingness to trade prospects for fringe [...]
There has been a Cold War brewing in the National League this offseason. A Cold War of cold hard cash between the Mets, Dodgers, and Padres at the top has seemed to have erupted. With superstar power on all three teams, it is natural to assume that tensions will run high between the teams. On [...]
In a tweet yesterday, mets.com reporter Anthony DiComo said: “the Mets have signed nine free agents, completed seven trades and made their team better.” Well, make that 10 free agents, as the latest news is that the Mets have signed Taijuan Walker to fill out their rotation. As of right now, no terms are available, [...]
On Wednesday night, the New York Mets announced that minor league outfielder Tim Tebow had retired from his professional baseball career. He played a total of three years in the Mets organization, batting .223/.299/.338, topping out at Triple-A Syracuse. “I loved every minute of the journey, but at this time I feel called in other [...]
