If the Kollector’s Korner Hall of Fame handed out scouting reports, this month’s inductee would come with something like this: position, relentless; tools, patience, research, memory, and phone numbers nobody else has; weakness, none detected; ceiling, every Met who ever appeared in a game. This month’s inductee is not just a collector. He is a tracker, a historian, a networking department, and occasionally a private investigator who just happens to wear Mets blue. Meet Steve

It's The Dodgers World, as we all know. They get Timmy Trumpet himself, Edwin Diaz. They get Kyle Tucker ($60 million a year for TWO good years. Look it up). Will Teoscar Hernandez, a true 100 RBI cleanup hitter, be batting ninth? What is going to happen next? Will Mike Piazza's Cooperstown cap now have LA on it? Will our precious Tom Seaver statue be shipped west? Will Mr. and Mrs. Met be adorned in Dodger Blue? Will Dodger Dogs be served at Citifield? Will Dave Kingman now

Hey Mets fans, consider this a reality check. A wake-up call. A figurative slap across the cheek designed to snap us out of our collective, group-text-level despair. Edwin Díaz is gone. Pete Alonso is gone. Brandon Nimmo is gone. And for good measure, let’s toss Jeff McNeil into the emotional blender as well. These were real Mets. Long term Mets. Homegrown Mets. “They were here when times were bad” Mets. The kind of guys you don’t just watch—you invest in. Jerseys were purcha

As we wait to see who'll be starting at 1st base in 2026, the editors and writers here at the Korner thought it would be interesting to turn back the clock and see all the great (and not-so-great) 1st basemen in Mets history. We'll break the list down by decade. For example, we know undoubtedly that Pete Alonso is the best 1st baseman to play for the Mets in the 2020s; that's going to be easy to write once we get to the present. However, when you turn back the clock to the 19

These days, Mets fans can get their fix of trade rumors easily. There is nothing that quite gives fans the hope of getting through the winter like a good rumor. Back in the day, before sports talk radio and the internet, I remember a two-inch blurb in the Daily News that perked me up! It simply said, "Mets Closing in on Trade For Foster" George Foster? Dominant MVP, 50 home run dynamo from the Reds? I must have read those few sentences 15 times. Well, the Foster the Mets did

The Mets announced today that three of the franchise’s most memorable figures Carlos Beltrán, Lee Mazzilli, and Bobby Valentine will be inducted into the Mets Hall of Fame in 2026. That brings the total to 38 Mets immortals and three new plaques for the wall at Citi Field, which, at the pace we’re adding them, may need its own renovation soon. Maybe not quite East Wing-of-the-White-House territory, but close enough that an architect should probably start warming up. When t
