It's 7:48 Eastern time and the Jets game starts at 8:15 New York (-2.5) over Jacksonville - These are two teams going in opposite directions, with the Jets having lost three of their last four and the Jaguars winning three times in their last four. But the Jaguars still have road issues and the Jets [...]
It’s been an incredible year for the Mets and their fans. A regular season with 101 wins was a great year, a 24-game improvement over 2021. And somehow, despite losing Chris Bassitt, Jacob deGrom, Seth Lugo and Taijuan Walker, it’s been a great offseason, too. Steve Cohen has thrown nine-figure contracts around like they were [...]
Please use this thread all week to discuss any Mets-specific topic you wish. Please use this space instead of going off topic on the most-recent thread.
The Mets re-signed setup man Adam Ottavino, inking him to a 2/$14.5 million deal. And like all of the cool kids, Ottavino has an opt out after the first season. If he can perform anywhere close to how he did last year, the Mets will have a formidable relief corps. Of course, the Mets had [...]
Steve Cohen has approved more spending than most of us thought he would. If he had stopped after the club signed Kodai Senga, absolutely no fan would have complained. But then the Mets went on to sign Omar Narvaez, when they already had three catchers so this crazy offseason continues. It would be nice to [...]
It was this week in the year 1999 that the New York Mets executed a trade that gave them two of the final pieces of their pennant-winning 2000 squad: acquiring NL Cy Young Award runner-up Mike Hampton and outfielder Derek Bell from the Houston Astros for Roger Cedeno, Octavio Dotel and minor league pitcher Kyle [...]
What gets lost because of the final series of the year against the Braves, where the Mets neither hit nor pitched well, was how good the offense was in September/October. In all, 16 times in their last 31 games the Mets scored at least five runs. They went 16-0 in those games. You’d think they’d [...]
Even with the New York Mets agreeing to a two-year, $15 million contract with Omar Narvaez, there is work that needs to be done to the roster. So far, the Mets have bullied their way through the offseason to not only ensure that they maintain the success of last years team (101 wins, regardless of [...]
I'm aware of the issue
Omar Narvaez is likely better than either James McCann or Tomas Nido so the Mets signing him yesterday is probably a good idea. But it makes it harder for Francisco Alvarez to make the Opening Day roster. Not impossible - just harder. There have been rumors that the club has been shopping McCann and maybe [...]
The Mets made a surprise move, adding catcher Omar Narvaez on a 2/$15 million deal. An All-Star om 2021, Narvaez fell off offensively last year. But he remains a solid pitch framer and he posted a 1.1 fWAR in just 84 games played with a .597 OPS. For a comparison, James McCann had a .538 [...]
