This week's edition of Minor League Mondays focuses on Mets' shortstop prospect Elian Peña, who could become an untouchable player quickly.

The 2021 Mets season featured a new owner, a new/old head of baseball operations, two general managers (neither of whom would last the season), a roster overhaul, a trade that will be ranked as one of the best in team history only to be followed by one of the worst and one of those epic collapses that always seem to have the word Mets attached to them. Oh, yes, and a player revolt against the fans that forced management into some serious damage control.

The history of trades between the Mets and Marlins is a fascinating study in division dynamics - a rare case where two rivals have frequently served as each other's most prolific business partners. While most teams are hesitant to hand a silver bullet to a direct competitor, the Mets and Marlins have spent decades swapping franchise icons, All-Stars, and top prospects in deals that have reshaped both organizations. From the fire sales in South Beach to the "win now" gambles

The story of the 1970s Mets at catcher is really a story of transition. The decade opened with Jerry Grote still doing most of the work behind the plate, moved through years when Duffy Dyer and Ron Hodges mattered in real ways, and closed with John Stearns carrying the job almost by himself. One year after the miracle, the Mets still looked familiar at catcher. Grote handled 126 games and hit .255, while Dyer appeared in 59 and hit .209; New York finished 83-79. Behind the p

New York Mets' righty Jonah Tong is off to a tough start at Syracuse, but results aren't the only thing to watch as we spotlight him in this week's edition of Minor League Mondays.

The 2018 New York Mets season began with a bang – a nine-game April winning streak creating the (false) hope that a managerial gamble had, for once, paid off and that the team would finally accomplish its on-paper potential. It ended, effectively, in May, and by the end of a June swoon fans and the media were pointing fingers at the manager, the general manager had stepped aside and the replacement management structure was so dysfunctional that the team couldn’t execute the t

The New York Mets lost their ninth game in a row, falling 12-4 to the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field on Friday afternoon.

The 2026 edition of Minor League Mondays kicks off with a look at Mets' outfield prospect A.J. Ewing.

The 2014 Mets season saw the arrival the the Grandyman and The Big Sexy, but the biggest impact came from a shortstop-turned-pitcher whose made the most of a May call-up and an unexpected start. The team’s final record was 79-83, 11 games short of general manager Sandy Alderson’s 90-win prediction, and while it was good enough for a second place tie in a weak National League East, the team still finished nine games out of a wild card spot. Never

There are some voices in life that don’t just narrate moments they become the moments. Today, when Howie Rose took to social media to announce that the 2026 season will be his last in the Mets radio booth, and then, a few hours later, sat down for a press availability it didn’t feel like just another media day. It felt like someone gently turning down the volume on a part of our lives we never imagined would go quiet. And in true Howie fashion, he didn’t make it about legacy

Aside from Opening Day, playoff games, and a handful of can’t-miss giveaway days, there’s one date on the Mets calendar that doesn’t show up in the standings but still gets circled in red ink by those of us who cover the team. It’s the annual “What’s New at Citi Field” media event—baseball’s version of Christmas morning, if Santa traded his sleigh for a carving station and smelled faintly of smoked brisket. Because while the wins and losses will come later, this is the day th

We are now a little more than two weeks away from Opening Day, which means across Mets Nation the annual ritual has begun. No, not spring cleaning. Prediction season. From now until the first pitch of the season at Citi Field, we’re going to spend a few minutes each day here at Kiner’s Korner doing something Mets fans love almost as much as debating, 50 years later, whether Yogi Berra should have started George Stone in Game 6 and Tom Seaver in Game 7 in the 1973 World Serie

As the calendar creeps closer to March 26 and the start of another baseball season, the annual ritual begins. Not the first pitch ritual. Not the hot dog ritual. Not even the ritual of fans convincing themselves this is finally the year they won’t overreact to every April loss. No, the real ritual is the spring press conference where everyone tries to read tea leaves while the general manager calmly reminds us that baseball seasons are marathons, not sprints, even though the
