Mets Minors: Offseason deep dive on Luisangel Acuna

Biography: The most famous thing about Luisangel Acuna will instantly be his relation to Ronald Acuna Jr. His older brother is one of the absolute best players in all of baseball and it’s possible that he could become an impact player in his own right.

On how Yogi Berra missed being a career Yankee back in 1965

One baseball player trait fans admire is “played their whole career with the same team”. It is standard trivia to know Brooks Robinson and Carl Yastrzemski both spent their entire 23-year careers with the same team – that’s the record. There are 11 players, all in the Hall of Fame, that played in 20 or [...]

Mets-related thoughts on FanGraphs’ top 50 free agents

Poll: What will the Mets’ 2024 Opening Day payroll be?

The Mets were never seriously linked to Aaron Nola so it’s no big deal that he’s re-signed with the Phillies. But the Nola signing means that we can now seriously expect the big free agents to ink contracts at any time. And we still don’t know what to expect the Mets to do this offseason. [...]

Mets should target Brandon Woodruff for future rotation

Even when you think you have enough starting pitching, the rigors of a 162-game season often test that to the limit. The obvious key to overcoming that is not just depth, but quality depth. That is an area that the Mets were seriously lacking in 2023, a weakness exposed first by injuries and then at [...]

Carlos Mendoza’s list of what needs to be changed

Twice previously, there’s been an article here with a similar title. The first was when the Mets hired Mickey Callaway. And the second one was when they hired Carlos Beltran. There wasn’t one for Buck Showalter, because he was a veteran manager who knew all the angles. But now we’re back to a first-time hire [...]
