Grapefruit Juice: Cardinals 3, Mets 1—Polanco goes yard
The Mets dropped their road game in Jupiter to the Cardinals this afternoon, as Sean Manaea gave up three runs in two-and-two-thirds innings of work.

2026 Mets King of Spring Training, second update
Suddenly, we find ourselves just two weeks from Opening Day and overdue for a 2026 King of Spring Training update. This year’s contest looks a little different than recent years because many players are playing in the World Baseball Classic, including a couple of KoST candidates. We’ve also unfortunately had a KoST campaign-ending injury since […]

Marcus Semien promises elite up the middle defense
When the 2025 season ended, there was a narrative espoused by the Mets’ front office that one of the goals of the offseason was to focus on run prevention. This narrative more or less went out the window with the signing of Jorge Polanco and Bo Bichette, but the concept endures in the trade of […]

Huascar Brazobán still has options in 2026
Thanks to his relatively lengthy path to accruing major league service time, Huascar Brazobán still has one option remaining heading into the 2026 season. We’re starting there because it figures to come into play as the Mets have built another bullpen that’s designed to see a lot of roster churn, even though approach went pretty […]
Freddy Peralta is exactly what the 2026 Mets need
Since arriving with the Mets, David Stearns has had a fairly predictable pattern when it comes to starting pitching acquisitions. He has largely foregone the bigger available names on the open market, believing that committing significant resources to good but not elite starters to be a bad investment—particularly for a team that had little internal […]

Luis Robert Jr. will try to stay healthy and find past form at the plate
Coming off a pair of 84 wRC+ seasons in 2024 and 2025, Luis Robert Jr. was traded by the White Sox to the Mets in late January. The oft-injured 28-year-old Cuban center fielder had been with Chicago since playing rookie ball in 2017. At his very best in 2023, Robert was a force to be […]

By the technical definition of a “rookie”, as outlined by Major League Baseball’s eligibility requirements, Nolan McLean enters 2026 as a rookie, in so far as he’s thrown fewer than 50 major league innings in his career (48 innings, to be exact). By way of his performance, composure, and talent level, McLean is anything but […]
