We all want the Mets to be active in free agency and begin the 2024 season with five starters capable of making 30 starts, providing they remained healthy. We thought that’s what the Mets had coming into 2023 but remaining healthy – and still on the team past the trade deadline – proved easier said [...]
Biography: We wrote about Parada last season and nothing has changed about his biography except he is another year older and another league more advanced.

Now that we are deeply entrenched into the playoffs, one in which the Mets are again watching from home, it is easy to fall back into the “why again do we root for this team?” mode. A little more than 60 years in existence, we only have two world series titles to show for our [...]
Shortly after the Mets officially announced David Stearns as their President of Baseball Operations and the surprising resignation of General Manager Billy Eppler, reports poured in that Eppler was under MLB investigation for improper use of the Injured List. MLB evidently took umbrage with his use of what is referred to in baseball circles as [...]
