Jeurys Familia has been traded away. AJ Ramos is on the DL and headed for free agency, as is Jerry Blevins. Among the rest of the Mets bullpen, who can you see playing a key role in 2019? Are our future closer and setup man on the roster?
Another day, another Mets loss. Our band of hasbeens and non-prospects were bested by a Braves team that is younger, faster and hungrier. Jason Vargas took his turn in the rotation and got off to a bad start, surrendering four early runs before settling down. The veteran lefty lasted five innings and struck out seven, [...]
On July 31 of this year, your intrepid columnist had an early-evening appointment about an hour from home. On the ride back, the Mets/Nationals game was on the radio. Amed Rosario was the lead-off hitter and on the second pitch of the night, he hit a grounder to second. Daniel Murphy had trouble getting to [...]
The Mets fell behind early and came out on the wrong end of a 5-3 score Wednesday afternoon in Washington against the Nationals.

If you missed this game, you may think the score is a typo. It's not. The Mets lost by three touchdowns in the most lopsided loss in the 57-year history of the franchise. Following a very active trade deadline in which the Nationals opted not to sell off and instead go for it this year, [...]
There have been a bunch of moves already in MLB, which leads many to believe that there won't be a ton of action in the last few hours before today's 4 p.m. deadline. The Mets are thought to be holding on to all three of their starting pitchers and the Nationals are supposedly keeping Bryce [...]
The Mets have made a variety of roster moves over the past week amidst a series of trades and injuries. Infielder Luis Guillorme is one of those recalled to the Mets, he is now playing his second stint with the club so far this season. Most experts seem to peg him as a utility player, [...]
Minor league promotions can be a funny thing. Necessity has made the Mets make many more moves in their system here in 2018 than they have in the past. Even with that, we saw players stay at a level perhaps a little longer than their stats might have indicated. The prime example was Jeff McNeil [...]
