Saturday Seasons: A New Owner, But Thumbs Down to 2021
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.

Saturday Seasons: 2020 Season, Pandemic Pandemonium
The most unusual season in the history of the New York Mets and the sport of baseball took place in 2020. On March 13th, 2020, President Trump declared a national emergency because of a pandemic that became known as Covid-19 or the Coronavirus Pandemic. Quarantines, entry bans and other restrictions were implemented as thousands of cases were being reported. On March 16th, the White House advised against any gatherings of more than ten people.

Steve Cohen Frustrated Yet Excited: Reflections from Day 2 of Mets Camp as Veterans and Prospects Fuel a Team That “Feels Different”
If Day 1 is about handshakes and fresh spikes in the clubhouse, Day 2 is where the tone starts to reveal itself. And the tone on this morning was set in the dugout. Steve Cohen met the media for 22 minutes, and if there was one word he kept circling back to, it was “excited.” But don’t confuse that with satisfied. “I feel like there’s a different energy here this year than last year,” Cohen said. “I don’t know what it is. It just feels really optimistic.” That optimism lives

Stearns, Cohen, Freddy Peralta, Tobias Myers,and the Mets Hedge Fund Approach to Building a Winner
There are two truths in life: The sun rises in the east. Mets fandom much like today's political climate is a house divided, with the dividing line usually running straight through Thanksgiving dinner. I know this because I run KinersKorner.com, a digital family room where Mets fans gather daily to agree on one thing that everyone else is wrong. Which brings us to David Stearns. Let me preface this by saying I have been a believer in David Stearns’ long-term vision for this

The Clock is Ticking: How the Mets Can Spend Smart in 2026
The calendar has officially flipped to 2026, which in Mets terms means two things. First, we are now legally allowed to worry about a season that has not started yet. Second, the excuses have expired. This is the point on the baseball calendar where optimism either matures into strategy or sits on the couch in sweatpants, scrolling through old box scores and whispering, “Trust the plan. There is definitely a plan.” I have maintained all along, often loudly, that David Stearns

Mets Offseason Fallout: Alonso, Díaz, the Departures, the Backlash, They have “Some ’Splaining to Do”
Let’s be honest, Mets fans: if 2024 ended on the magical, delirious high of the “OMG Run,” and the following offseason delivered the jaw-dropping addition of Juan Soto, you would’ve thought the Mets were building toward a baseball utopia. Instead, the collapse of the 2025 offseason and the events of the past two days have felt more like waking up the next morning, looking around your house, only to realize someone took the TV, the couch, and half the kitchen appliances.
