High Expectations in Port St. Lucie: Takeaways from My First Day in Mets Camp
There are very few two word phrases in the English language that, when spoken together, instantly bring a smile to your face. I do. Game 7. Spring Training. Opening Day. So yes, I am smiling.( You maybe able to see it in the picture above, but take my word for it) Everything worked out. The 6:45 a.m. flight from Islip to West Palm lifted off on time. Wheels down at 9:45. I was in the rental car by 10:05 and on the back fields by 11:15. Not bad for a February morning that bega

Kimbrel in the Mix: Did the Mets add Bullpen Depth or Just Bull?
There was a time when Craig Kimbrel entered a baseball game and opposing hitters immediately started thinking about their families. They wondered if they had said I love you enough. They wondered if this was how it ended. That Craig Kimbrel was a menace.

Edwin Díaz to the Dodgers Hurts — But the Mets’ Trumpets Aren’t Playing Taps, and Here’s Why
Losing Edwin Díaz hurts. It hurts emotionally, spiritually, musically, and in that little spot right behind your left rib that starts throbbing every time the Mets lose a late-inning lead. And look, this is personal too, because I genuinely love Edwin. He was always accessible. He was a stand up guy.

Mets Add Firepower to Bullpen with Signing of Devin “Airbender” Williams
The New York Mets reportedly have made a bold move tonight, signing elite free agent reliever Devin Williams . Known for his devastating changeup and electric strikeout ability, Williams immediately upgrades a bullpen that has shown flashes of dominance but lacked consistent late-inning reliability. Williams, 31, first made a name for himself in Milwaukee, where he debuted in 2019. By the following season, he was a household name in relief pitching, winning both the National
