This week, I attended a forum with Mets announcers, Gary Cohen, Keith Hernandez, and Ron Darling. The trio are fan favorites and widely regarded as one of the best booths in baseball. During the roughly hour and 15-minute forum, which was hosted by Drew University president Hillary Link, the trio discussed several topics. The current…

The Mets appear to be done with the retooling of their roster after making two large trades this week. The first was for outfielder Luis Robert Jr. Robert is a young and talented player who has dealt with the injury bug throughout his career. When he’s able to be on the field, he has demonstrated…

The Mets and infielder Bo Bichette are in agreement on a three-year deal worth over $100 million. The deal isn’t truly for three years, as Bichette has opt-outs after the first and second years.

The seven-game series…

The Mets will not play playoff baseball in 2025 after a three-and-a-half-month fall from glory. It was a prolonged collapse; since mid-June, they have had the third-worst record in all of MLB. Players such as Pete Alonso and Juan Soto had individual seasons, but a team isn’t made up of individuals. The team that made…

Pete Alonso’s three run walk off home run has aided the Mets in the ending of their eight game losing streak. The walk off home run also keeps the Mets playoff chances alive, at least for another day. The Mets control their own destiny as they are still the holders of the third wild card…

A once promising week has sputtered in its end as the Mets lose a four game series to the Marlins. The sweep of the first place Phillies in the beginning of the week was a high that unfortunately couldn’t be built upon The main flaw in the letdown Marlins series was the starting pitching. Relied…

The Mets enter the biggest series of the year with a downward momentum track. They come to a series with the division leading the Phillies off a split six game road trip. They blew their chance of maintaining their upward trek from the prior week by losing a series to the last place Nationals. Starters…
