Luis Robert Jr. got hurt, then got Wally Pipp’d
It is sort of amazing just how different the acquisition of Luis Robert Jr. looks in October than it did in January. Robert was brought in to play center field and be an offensive upgrade over Tyrone Taylor. Even though a lot of the underlying tools looked problematic, the possibility of 25+ HR power, elite […]
Mets Morning News: First time for everyone
Meet the Mets One of the major questions for the Mets going into the offseason is who will take over first base in 2027, after a grabbag of (mostly) underwhelming options in 2026. One of the candidates for the Mets hitting coach opening is Cubs assistant hitting coach John Mallee, who formed a close connection […]

Koshien Stadium, home of the Hanshin Tigers, is also located in Nishinomiya, and as such, Sato grew up a Tigers fan. Although he played baseball as a boy, he lost much of his passion for it as his teenage years […]
Freddy Peralta, ALCS MVP, wasn’t good with the Mets this year
One of the Mets’ biggest moves before the 2026 season was the team’s trade with the Brewers for Freddy Peralta and Tobias Myers. As was the case with nearly all of the most significant moves of the offseason, this one went pretty terribly for the Mets, as Peralta wound up with a 4.99 ERA and […]

Huascar Brazobán generated plenty of value for the Mets
Huascar Brazobán’s Mets tenure was undeniably a highly successful one. Acquired for a pittance at the 2024 deadline from the Marlins ($10 for you if you can name the prospect the Mets gave up in that deal without looking it up), the 36-year-old posted 135.2 innings of 3.45 ERA ball in Queens. He was a […]

The Mets got everything they could from Brooks Raley
There were a lot of problems with the 2026 Mets, a depressing and lengthy list that we don’t need to rehash here. The bullpen, however, was not one of them. Prior to the trade deadline, the Mets’ relief corp posted a 3.82 ERA with a 3.79 xERA and 15.1 K-BB%. That latter mark ranked 4th […]
Mets Morning News: ALCS in a dead heat as Brewers lie in wait

Kodai Senga was good as a reliever, but had an atrocious road to the bullpen
At the start of every season, we do a ‘Bold Predictions’ piece here on Amazin’ Avenue. Last year, my bold prediction was a sub-2.50 ERA for Kodai Senga. My thought process, at the time, seemed sound: With stronger up the middle defense, a potential six-man rotation, and a coaching staff more aligned with the front […]

Tobias Myers didn’t thrive in his first season with the Mets
When the Mets sent prospects Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat to the Brewers ahead of the 2026 season, Freddy Peralta was undoubtedly the headliner of the package they got in return. With Peralta heading for free agency after the season, though, conventional wisdom at the time of the trade was that the Mets did well […]

Jorge Polanco had one of the most disappointing seasons in Mets history in 2026
Three days after the Orioles agreed to a five-year deal with Pete Alonso last December, the Mets signed Jorge Polanco to a two-year, $40 million contract. At the time, the Mets’ front office clearly thought that the switch-hitting veteran would give them good production at the plate, and in the team’s press release about the […]
