2026 Mets King of Spring Training, first update
The calendar has barely turned to March and we’ve already had a Francisco Lindor hamate surgery, dominant early performances from Nolan McLean and Freddy Peralta, a chess club, and a Soto shuffle. And now, in addition to all of that, we will be kicking off our annual King of Spring Training contest, in which we […]

Jonathan Pintaro is the The Little Engine That Could
Jonathan Pintaro went undrafted out of high school and spent five seasons at Shorter University, D2 school in the Gulf South Conference located in Rome, Georgia, without being selected by a Major League Baseball team. The 24-year-old still had the passion for baseball and refused to let his dream die, signing with the Glacier Range […]
Are we going to see more of Nick Morabito in 2026?
Nick Morabito was drafted by the Mets in the qualified offer free agent compensation round of the 2022 MLB Draft out of Gonzaga College High School in Washington D.C. At the time, he was considered a definite follow by regional scouts and evaluators, but his overall profile and post-draft evaluations made many question whether the […]
A Pod of Their Own, Episode 265: 30 raw eggs, affordability, and one other thing
Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space. This week, we begin by discussing some notes out of Mets camp, including Ryan Lambert’s unhinged energy (complimentary), Nolan McLean […]
Mets Morning News: Exhibition win
Meet the Mets The Mets beat Team Nicaragua 6-3 in an exhibition game before the World Baseball Classic begins. Jonah Tong made the start for the Mets, going 2.2 innings and giving up a run while striking out three. Brooks Raley and Craig Kimbrel also each gave up a run, while the other five pitchers […]

LINDOR ON THE MEND Francisco Lindor’s rehab continues to progress on schedule, as the Mets shortstop played catch on Monday and is hoping to take batting practice on Wednesday, according to Jon Heyman.

Ronny Mauricio: Then. Now. Forever.
For almost a decade now, I have been following the baseball journey of Ronny Mauricio. I remember seeing Mauricio for the first time down at Segra Park in Columbia, South Carolina back in 2019 and immediately understood what all the hype and fuss was about; his skinny, athletic frame oozed potential, and the sound of […]
Grading the Mets’ minor roster moves
It was another active offseason on the margins for the Mets. Let’s see how they did. Bats Mike Tauchman, signed to a minor league deal only days before camp opened, is far and away the best player we’ll cover here. He’s coming off a season with a .356 OBP, a 115 wRC+, platoon-neutral performance, and […]
Bryan Hudson is a good gamble
David Stearns strikes again. Never content to stop the churn of arms, the Mets acquired Bryan Hudson from the White Sox in exchange for cash considerations earlier this month. Hudson is coming off a season where he threw only 15 innings with an ERA approaching 5, and now he’s penciled for a bullpen spot on […]
Mets Morning News: Let’s talk top prospects
Meet the Mets ESPN’s Jorge Castillo took us inside the Mets’ offseason makeover and looked at what’s next for the club as they head into 2026. Freddy Peralta is already fitting in with the Mets, and Ken Rosenthal speculated as to whether this would be a long-term commitment between the two sides. Mets players are […]
Hayden Senger has glove, will travel
Back in 2022, Hayden Senger was ranked the Mets 11th top prospect by Amazin’ Avenue. For context, here are the players who ranked behind him: Robert Dominguez (25), Levi David (24), Carlos Cortes (23), Travis Blankenhorn (22), Junior Santos (21), Brian Metoyer (20), Thomas Szapucki (19), Josh Walker (18), Jose Butto (17), Dominic Hamel (16), […]
Mets 4, Astros 3: Mets walk it off
The Mets had their first walk-off win of the spring, beating the Houston Astros 4-3 in the bottom of the ninth thanks to a Yonatan Henriquez line drive single that scored John Bay. The Mets next game will be on Tuesday at 1:10 PM EST, against Team Nicaragua in a pre-World Baseball Classic exhibition game. […]
Tyrone Taylor is back in the right role
Last time we spoke about Tyrone Taylor, it seemed like he was in line to be the starting center fielder for the 2026 Mets. Now, I’m a big fan of Taylor, but that was a touch grim given his .223/.279/.319 line last season. Clearly the front office felt the same and made major additions, bringing […]
Mets Morning News: Sunny Days
Meet the Mets The Mets walked off the Astros and capped their weekend with a 4-3 win. it’s still a little early to make promises, but Carlos Mendoza is optimistic that Francisco Lindor and his hamate-less hand can be ready for Opening Day. Clay Holmes and Nolan McLean are excited to represent the United States […]
Mets Morning News: Tobias Myers impresses, Brett Baty adjusts to first base
Meet the Mets Tobias Myers had another solid outing yesterday, but it wasn’t enough to lead the Mets to victory against the Nationals. While Myers’s exact role for the 2026 Mets continues to be unclear, he has looked and felt great thus far in spring. Brett Baty played first base in yesterday’s game and spoke […]
Jose Rojas looks to follow up a strong 2025 in the minors
There’s a term that you hear tossed around baseball circles a lot, especially this time of year: Quad-A player. This means someone who is probably better than Triple-A talent but isn’t necessarily cut out for the majors, either. There tends to be subsets of Quad-A players, including but not limited to the defensive whiz who […]
Grapefruit Juice: Nationals 3, Mets 2
The Mets fell behind early in today’s game against the Nationals at Clover Park, and despite late attempts to comeback, they ultimately fell to the Nationals 3-2. The Mets will be at home once again tomorrow afternoon. They face off against the Astros at 1:10 PM on SNY, with Clay Holmes taking the mound.

Let’s give Jonah Tong the time he deserves in 2026
Jonah Tong’s 2025 campaign was about as strong an advertisement for Triple-A baseball as one can make. Tong absolutely eviscerated minor league competition last season. In 22 starts, he pitched to a 1.43 ERA with 179 strikeouts in 113.2 IP. Those eye-popping numbers were enough to earn Tong the Minor League Pitching Prospect of the […]
Joey Gerber could be just what the Mets’ bullpen needs
Before the Mets traded Brandon Nimmo and Jeff McNeil, before they let Edwin Díaz and Pete Alonso walk, and before they added a smattering of All-Stars to their roster, the team’s offseason began with a subtler move: acquiring Joey Gerber. A 28-year-old right-handed reliever, Gerber has just twenty innings of big league experience under his […]
Carson Benge will likely be a starter for the 2026 Mets (and you should be fine with that)
From the very beginning of the offseason, David Stearns—normally one who plays things extremely close to the vest—has been fairly clear whenever the subject of the 2026 outfield comes up. He has repeatedly stated that 2024 first round pick Carson Benge will enter spring training with a chance to win a starting job for the […]
