Saturday Seasons, 2025: Good for a stretch, done in by a stretch
We’ve all heard, maybe to the point of exhaustion, the old baseball adage that the major league baseball season is a marathon, not a sprint. The 2025 Mets proved that they were great sprinters and lousy distance runners. If the season had ended on June 12, about 40 percent through the schedule, the Mets, with the best record in MLB, would have had home field advantage throughout the playoffs. And that was despite the huge free agent signing – Ju

Spring Training Day 6: Professionalism, Competition and a 2026 Mets Team that Might Be Special
By the time I pulled into the complex at Clover Park for my sixth and final day of covering Mets Spring Training, the place felt almost civilized. No 6:00 a.m. cattle call. No players stumbling in before sunrise for picture day obligations. The press room didn’t open until 9:45. The clubhouse doors welcomed us at 10. It felt like baseball had hit the snooze button. And honestly, after a week of controlled chaos, it was kind of perfect. The room itself was quiet. Not tense qui

Holmes for the Holidays: Mets’ Clay, Sproat, Tong, and McLean Deliver Cheer
If you were wandering through Citi Field on Thursday morning and thought you’d accidentally taken a wrong turn into the North Pole, don’t worry. You weren’t hallucinating from too much egg nog. You had simply stumbled upon the Mets’ annual Kids Holiday Party, one of those rare baseball events where wins and losses don’t matter, the standings are irrelevant, and the only thing anyone is trying to pad is a gift bag. As part of the MetsGiving initiative, the Mets along with the

Mets Trade Rumours Leave me Dazed and Confused
You know those social media posts that pop up every day asking things like, Describe your mood today with a movie title? Or a song? Or the old internet classic where you create your “adult film name” by combining your first pet with the last name of your least favorite Mets reliever and yes, mine would be Coco Looper thanks for asking. Honestly, that’s how my brain has always worked. I don’t process life in neat paragraphs. I process it in pop culture references movies, lyr

What Happens in Vegas (Hopefully) Doesn’t Stay in Vegas: David Stearns Talks Mets at the GM Meetings
The annual General Manager Meetings are sort of the appetizer before baseball’s offseason buffet.The Winter Meetings get all the glory, the signings, the trades, the Scott Boras monologues that go longer than a game-winning home run given up by Ryan Helsley, but the GM Meetings? That’s where everyone starts slow-cooking the rumors. And this week, the baseball world descended on Las Vegas, which feels appropriate, because nothing says baseball wants to distance itself from a g
