Pete Alonso has already set one record this year – and that might only be just the first one. The first baseman has become the first player in New York Mets history to reach 10 home runs before May after hitting one over the fence Friday night in the fifth inning against the San Francisco Giants In 21 games, Alonso is slashing .293 .376 .671 (batting average, on-base, and slugging percentage) with 23 RBIs. The Mets sit just a half-game behind the Atlanta Braves for the lead in the NL East. But in addition to the hot start, Alonso may have the potential to do much more for the Mets this year – ...

New York Mets fans are rightfully disgruntled because Brett Baty did just about everything right just to not make the opening day roster. The 23-year-old made quite the impression in spring training. With his bat, he slashed .325/.460/.425, hit 3 balls over the wall, and knocked in seven runs. Some critics have drawn concerns over Baty’s defense – but he made multiple impressive desperation plays and throws to first base. This area could have very well been improved in the offseason. Heck, even Mets bench coach Eric Chavez admitted Baty is ready for the MLB during spring training. “He’s a big-...

The Edwin Diaz injury proves there needs to be a change made to the World Baseball Classic going forward. Now, of course, it’s not to blame the tournament itself – it’s rather the timing of it all. The WBC is happening while MLB spring training is ongoing and some players have opted not to play in the WBC and focus on solely getting ready with the team in 2023. It makes sense to have some kind of pre-season to get players back in the mold of playing games after months of not. But the WBC happens only every four years – and some players want to play in it as it might only be a once-in-a-lifetim...

The New York Mets are being sued for allegedly discriminating against former pitching coach Phil Regan for his age. The now 85-year-old, nicknamed “The Vulture,” claimed in a lawsuit that the pitching staff including Noah Syndergaard, Jacob deGrom and Zack Wheeler all got better after he took over during the 2019 season. However, Regan was not brought back. At the time Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen admitted to Regan that he was “too old,” according to the complaint filed by attorney Matthew Blit. Yet, Van Wagenen hired him as interim pitching coach to replace Dave Eiland. “If we don’...

The New York Mets might have themselves a steal with Jeff McNeil – especially if he continues to produce at his pace. It’s not surprising to hear that the team reached a new contract with the second baseman – but usually arbitration results in one-year agreements. Instead, both sides were able to strike a four-year extension worth $50 million. To make it even sweeter for the Mets, it will come with a team option that could take the deal up to $63.75 million. One thing to consider is the Mets had two more years of arbitration left – so they gave him a bit of a premium now in hopes it will pay o...

Carlos Correa has agreed to another multi-hundred million contract with another MLB franchise – this time with his 2022 team, the Minnesota Twins. It’s been a wild saga surrounding the two-time All-Star shortstop in the past month. But The Athletic reported on Monday that things started to heat up with the Twins. Then surely a day later, Correa’s struck a six-year $200 million agreement with the team. The value could max out to $270 million with four extra years from vesting options, which depends reportedly depends on the number of plate appearances that Correa has. But how did we get to this...

Carlos Correa‘s deal with the New York Mets appears to be in jeopardy as tempers flare in talks. About a month ago, both sides reportedly agreed 12-year $315 million contract just weeks ago after the $350 million deal with San Fransisco Giants fell apart. However, the Mets found the same issues the Giants did in the physical, which relates to a right fibula that Correa suffered back in 2014. That has caused the deal to stall and the Mets are reportedly looking for language in the contract that will protect him in case an injury forces him to miss a significant amount of time. However, MLB Insi...

It’s been a wild last week for Carlos Correa and his deal with the New York Mets isn’t guaranteed to get done. First, the San Fransisco Giants had a reported agreement of a 13-year contract worth $350 million. However, that fell apart when the Giants drew concern over medical results. That allowed the New York Mets to swoop in and agree to a $315 million contract. However, the Mets found the same issue in their physical as the Giants did, which relates to a fractured right fibula that Correa suffered back in 2014. While both sides are trying to work things out, a source cited by New York Post ...

The highly anticipated debut for Francisco Alvarez finally happened in a New York Mets uniform and some are wondering if he will stick around. While Alvarez did not get a hit or on base, he did have some hard contact against the Atlanta Braves on Friday. Unfortunately, one of those hard-hit balls resulted in a ground ball double play when the Mets had runners on first and second with no outs in a pivotal game for the National League East battle. Also, Alvarez struck out swinging in the ninth with the bases loaded with a chance to tie the game. That said, he will likely have a bright future in ...

New York Mets fans finally got their wish with Mark Vientos getting called up to the big leagues on Saturday. The team confirmed that the third baseman is getting called up after All-Star outfielder Starling Marte was placed on the 10-day injury list. While Vientos wasn’t in Saturday’s starting lineup against the Miami Marlins, he will be available off the bench. The move comes as the Mets lost yet another game to a non-playoff team on Friday, falling 6-3 to the Marlins. Just over a week ago, things were going smoothly for the Mets, which beat the league’s best Los Angeles Dodgers two out of ...
