With all the main free agents pretty much off the board, this signing had to get dome. Seriously, there’s no way we were moving Marte to CF and now it’s just a matter of Brandon staying healthy.
Fred McGriff Finally Makes It Into Hall of Fame
McGriff was not only one of the most feared sluggers in the game when he played, but a 5-time All-Star, pretty solid defensively and by my count had about 12 HOF-ish seasons. In other words he more than deserved to get in.
Jacob deGrom Chooses Money Over Loyalty, Signs 5-Year Deal with Rangers
DeGrom was always adamany that he was going to opt-out of his contract so that was the biggest clue that he no longer wanted to be in NY. Now he has his $$$ and will pitch for a 68-win team in Texas. Good for him. RELATED: Jacob deGrom spurned Mets’ three-year deal in $120 million…
MLB Insider on Free Agent Carlos Rodon’s Meeting with the Mets
This guy’s career has been like night and day. I prefer more consistency, but whatever. RELATED: New York Mets to Meet With Free Agent Starter Carlos Rodon
Astros Sign Jose Abreu, Mets Will Look ‘Internally’ for DH
Just when you’re loving the idea of a proven slugger like Jose Abreu batting behind Pete Alonso in the lineup, Steve Cohen and company come crashing down on my dreams. RELATED: What Jose Abreu to Astros Means for New York Mets
Mets Have Talked with Free Agent Pitcher Justin Verlander
I can’t take this news seriously. I mean year Verlander just won a Cy Young award. But does Steve Cohen really have the $$$ for Verlander and DeGrom? Then there’s Verlander’s age, etc. RELATED: Mets Considering Justin Verlander
Mets Non-Tender Dom Smith
MLB.com: Dominic Smith’s uneven tenure with the Mets has come to an end. The Mets on Friday non-tendered Smith, their first-round pick in the 2013 MLB Draft who struggled for most of a decade to find his footing in Flushing. Smith is now a free agent, able to sign with any team. It’s highly unlikely…
Mets Could Make Serious Run at Trea Turner
Any Mets fan should want Turner on their team. Guy plays hard and he’s a winner. RELATED: Jon Hamm narrates Trea Turner’s hype video for MLB free agency

ESPN.com: Star closer Edwin Diaz and the New York Mets are in agreement on a five-year, $102 million contract, pending a physical, sources familiar with the deal told ESPN’s Jeff Passan on Sunday. There’s an opt-out and a full no-trade clause plus a sixth-year option in the contract, sources said. The Diaz deal is the…
Mets Are Prioritizing Signing Brandon Nimmo and Edwin Diaz
This makes sense as I don’t think we’re getting Aaron Judge and Diaz right now is the best closer in the game.
I Don’t Want Aaron Judge On My Team
First of all, Aaron Judge deserves all the money he’s going to get this off-season and he’s going to win the the AL MVP. Secondly, he’s going to stay a Yankee because there’s no way the pinstripe owner’s give up on their homegrown product and future Hall of Famer. Lastly, we need to concentrate on…
Tomas Nido Named a Gold Glove Finalist
Great for Nido, he deserves the award as he had an excellent season behind the plate. I thought Luis Guillorme would be a cinch to win the new ‘utility’ glove, but honestly don’t pay that much attention to defense around the league to understand why he didn’t make the final’s.
16 Years Ago Endy Chavez Made His Legendary Catch in Game 7 of the 2006 NLCS
Greatest catch in Mets history imo. Wonder if it was just a coincidence that he got released from the organization today? RELATED: Mets move on from Tim Teufel in minor league system shakeup
Should Mets Break the Bank to Bring Back Jacob deGrom?
I’d give deGrom 5 years/$225M with some incentives and be extra careful with him when he pitches.
Mets Need To Make Signing Brandon Nimmo a Priority
Ideally, I’d like for the Mets to sign Nimmo and Trea Turner. But they can only pick one than let it be Nimmo. Brandon is a home-grown Met, everyone loves his attitude, he had a great 2022 offensively and defensively, always hustles and in a year where he finally stayed injury-free, so what if he…
