Latest news and updates about the Mets

With the news of his hamate surgery still fresh in our minds, it’s important that we remember that there is no one on the Mets’ roster – 40-Man or otherwise – that can take Francisco Lindor’s place, even for just a few weeks. But that doesn’t mean that the Mets don’t need someone to play […]

Jack Wenninger (10) Steve says: We didn’t do sleeper prospects or anything like that last season, but Wenninger would have been mine. Even though his 2024 season was so-so, I ranked him 20th on my 2025 personal list based on the power of his control and strikeout stuff. This past season Wenninger continued showing that […]

Boston Baro (25) Steve says: Boston Baro had a solid 2024, establishing himself as a player to keep an eye on, but his progress and development took a backslide in 2025. He still has youth on his side but is currently being fueled more by how he has room to improve rather than how he […]
