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. Bichette is a pure bat-first player and adds depth and contact to a lineup that, in most fans’ eyes, was incomplete.…

The Mets off season so far has been riddled with fan anger and controversy. The trade of Brandon Nimmo was the first source of frustration for many fans. The free agency departures this past week of Edwin Diaz and Pete Alonso have made most fans rage to a boiling point. These three Mets were all…

The Mets have traded Brandon Nimmo to the Texas Rangers in exchange for Marcus Semien. Nimmo, who was the longest tenured Met, was a fan favorite and had signed a long-term deal in 2022.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are repeat World Series Champions after an exhilarating seven-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays.

The seven-game series…

A playoff berth for the Mets is no longer within their control following a disastrous series loss to the Nationals. The two defeats in this crucial three-game set were marked by sloppy defense that allowed the Nationals to score valuable runs. Another issue was the team’s inability to capitalize with runners in scoring position. Key…

Upward momentum appears to be coming the Mets’ way, as they are winners of two straight games. Top pitching prospect Nolan McLean was the apparent spark when he made his MLB debut on Saturday. McLean had a great debut by allowing no runs in his five innings of work. The offense appears to be back…

The Mets are winners of seven straight games and that win streak has allowed them to retake first place in the NL East. The pitching has been dominant during the streak in the seven games so far by not allowing more than five runs. The starters haven’t been going long in games, but the bullpen…

The Mets appear to be back in the groove as they won both of their three game series’ this week. The offense had a complete rebound from a disastrous series against the Pirates. The offense was forced to carry the team, especially in the Yankees series due to injuries ravaging the Mets pitching starters. The…
