NL East rival is getting creative with its pitching, why the NY Mets may follow suit (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Miami Marlins will not be playoff-bound this season, but you wouldn't know that by the way they're handling their pitching staff these days. The New York Mets are looking up at the Marlins in the standings, and it might be worth a prolonged gaze in order to steal an out-of-the-box strategy for 2027. Throughout the years, many teams have tried tweaking the tried-and-true conventional five-man rotation game plan. The most common deviation is moving to a six-man rotation, something the Mets hav
An improvement each of these NY Mets rookies needs to make most (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There hasn't been much that's gone right for the New York Mets this season. A team with the second-highest luxury tax payroll and several big-name stars was supposed to be a whole lot better than a last-place finish in the NL East. While we're staring down the barrel of that reality and frustrated by a number of underperforming veterans, something else has gone on. The Mets have had a contingent of rookies come up and provide real hope for the future. Carson Benge and Nolan McLean are legitimate
Why the NY Mets can still be satisfied with choosing A.J. Ewing over Drew Gilbert (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There was a point in time when it looked like the New York Mets made the right call by shipping Drew Gilbert off. One of the gems of the Justin Verlander trade, Gilbert quickly seemed to deflate by slashing .215/.313/.393 in 2024 at Syracuse. In 2025, he was marginally better, but left the Mets' organization with a .243/.347/.430 line during his second go-around in Triple-A. At the same time, A.J. Ewing was becoming a bright light. He rode a rocket ship, rising through the minor leagues and shoo
NY Mets, most of MLB have overlooked Pete Alonso's increasingly rare skill (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Many New York Mets fans were torn while Pete Alonso marketed his wares on the free-agent market last winter. The Polar Bear was obviously a fan favorite, but he was seeking a big payday, which set off some red flags. The common thought at the time was that power-hitting first basemen were a dime a dozen, and paying big money to one in his 30s was bound to end badly. Alonso didn't seem to have the secondary skills to justify the five-year, $155 million contract that the Baltimore Orioles gave him
Why the Cubs have a better chance at retaining Clay Holmes than the NY Mets do at re-signing him (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The New York Mets certainly rolled the dice by trading Clay Holmes at the 2026 trade deadline. The club will need to add starting pitching this offseason, and while Holmes is a free-agent-to-be, there was hope that New York would be able to re-sign him. Essentially, the Mets are trying to do with Holmes what the Yankees did with Aroldis Chapman back in 2016: trade him to the Chicago Cubs for a haul, and then welcome him back to the fold as soon as the offseason rolls around. The thing is, player
