Trading hs been described as a zero-sum game, but the history between the Mets and Blue Jays suggests a more complicated relationship. Over the 50 years of Toronto history, these two clubs have frequently used one another to solve their most pressing roster crises. Whether it was the Mets looking for an ace or a three-hole bat or the Jays adding to a championship core, the swaps between these two Eastern clubs has produced some of the most debated trades in Mets history.

By now, Mets fans have learned a new daily routine for January: breakfast, walk the dogm check email, Zoom press conference, repeat. This month has featured so many introductory media availabilities that it’s starting to feel less like Hot Stove season and more like baseball speed dating . Today’s installment brought us the newest face in that familiar little Zoom rectangle — Freddy Peralta — and if the Mets were hoping to introduce someone who sounds unfazed by bright lights

When he packed up for Oakland, he didn’t just take his glove, his permanently scuffed batting helmet, and his habit of glaring at infield dirt with him. He took a slice of Mets history that’s smaller, rarer, and more easily forgotten than it should be. Only two Mets have ever won a batting title. Two. In a franchise that’s been arou

Jorge Polanco’s introductory Mets press conference had everything you want from a winter Zoom: position flexibility, God references, family values, a nickname that sounds like a Springsteen cover band (“George Bonds”), and at least two moments where reporters couldn’t be heard, which officially makes it a New York press conference. Polanco arrived sounding like a man who had already unpacked his bags, memorized the Citi Field dimensions, and labeled his glove collection by po

I’ll be honest: at the trade deadline, I was banging the drum for the Mets to go after Luis Robert Jr. The guy is a walking highlight...

Well, the dust has settled, the rumors have cooled, and the Mets have come out the other side of the trade deadline looking less like...

The Mets traded for Tyler Rogers in a deal that features more name value than actual prospect value.
