  • So Soto

    So, apparently New Mets outfielder Juan Soto is back in the news this time saying he has not spoken to teammates. This comes as no surprise as there were reportedly problems last year with him and former leader of the Mets clubhouse, Pete Alonso.

    Now, not many legitimately know where Francisco Lindor stands in all of this but something seems fishy about the Mets situation. Just over one year ago, Soto signed a 15-year, $765 million contract with deferrals to become part of the Mets 40-man roster. Things could not get worse for the Mets as they are on a 12 game losing streak and recorded a loss to the Minnesota Twins last night.

    There is no excuse for what is happening especially with GM David Stearns turn of events this offseason. He decided to flip the roster and listen to owner Steve Cohen.

    Soto did not leave the New York Yankees for this and now, so far, he is paying the price.

  • What Exactly Happened to Paul Skenes on MLB Opening Day?

    Paul Skenes is a man of few words on the baseball diamond. He is vigilant with his pitches and most of all stands up the highest composure out of any MLB pitcher.

    On 2026 MLB Opening Day, nothing but a farce happened against the New York Mets. Yes, it was at Citi Field, but even worse.

    People saw Skenes touch significant career records. He ultimately allow five runs and 4 hits in 0.2 innings. He was removed from the quickest game of his career after only two outs and Mets fans could visibly see players such as Brett Baty become courageous rounding first.

    And, then a Mets rookie Carson Benge hit a home run to right. It was the worst game in Skenes’ young professional career and he has a lot to make up for it this year with especially new additions such as Ryan O’Hearn, Konnor Griffin, Brandon Lowe, and Bubba Chandler.

  • Breaking: Mets Sign Bo Bichette

    The New York Mets sign Bo Bichette in yet another shocking move.

    The Philadelphia Phillies reportedly netted interest until this was made announced. It was said Bichette started texting with the Phillies players before the Mets finalized the deal.

    Bichette will move to third base while Brett Baty plays left field. Bichette rebounded from a dismal 2024 season and contributed significantly to the Toronto Blue Jays 2025 World Series run.

  • The Mets Must Deliver on Kyle Tucker

    Have you ever heard of the movie: John Tucker must die? Well, the Mets must deliver on Kyle Tucker to sign a hefty contract.

    They just lost Pete Alonso to the Baltimore Orioles and for what? Because they did not offer Alonso a contract.

    As reported by Ken Rosenthal, the Baltimore Orioles have acquired not only Alonso’s services, but Taylor Ward and Ryan Helsley. This will definitively add more power to the Orioles lineup and strike up pitching.

    The Mets are the most important subject. They have a chance to add speed and power, too, in Tucker. Tucker is a former World Series winner, who knows how to play in tough, critical situations.

    He did not play to his absolute best last season. It did not matter. What mattered was his ability to return from injury and still do average under the conditions in Chicago.

    With Juan Soto, they can put to rest some of the clubhouse tension between Alonso and the team last year and sign a nice payday by owner Steve Cohen.

  • What Was Notable of Jonah Tong

    Jonah Tong was sensational. In fact, he was a phenomenon straight out the gate. It was quick, perfect, ease, and transition to the point, Tong immediately struck out six in 5 innings and called it a night.

    That easy.

    Many critics compared him to Tim Lincecum prior to the game and they were right. Sometimes, it takes more than one game to assess a performance but Tong had it. He possessed poise and overtime Citi Field and him should have easy roads ahead.

    Tong will come in handy for the 2025 MLB Postseason as his fastball touched 97 mph and rides elite amongst other pitches. Manager Carlos Mendoza praised his ability to take advantage of the heater and implement that and what people are criticizing his changeup and curveball.

    Both, possess the ability for Tong to be an extreme new generational pitcher and help the New York Mets, tremendously. The New York Mets have kept themselves in a better position than almost last year when they fell behind and reached atop the Postseason standings.

    This postseason will be a test and Tong is present.

  • Breaking: New York Mets Sign Juan Soto

    Breaking: New York Mets Sign Juan Soto

    Soto is a Met. It is official. According to Jon Heyman, the deal is 15 years, $765 million. After an action packed day of NFL football and forgoing the wait of the MLB Winter Meetings down in Dallas, TX, Soto decided to jump the move and sign with the New York Mets.

    It is historic as it marks a record high compared to the likes of Shohei Ohtani, Mike Trout, Mookie Betts, and others.

    The Mets made a quick turnaround last midway through and who knows what they will be able to accomplish next year in the NL East division but they won and captured the most prized free agent and that was Soto.

  • Benches Clear in Mets-Brewers

    Benches Clear in Mets-Brewers

    It did not take long for Rhys Hoskins to be reintroduced with open arms. As it turns out, the legs of Jeff McNeil’s interfered just enough for the Mets to throw a tirade and the Brewers to clear their respective dugout on a Friday afternoon at Citi Park.

    Hoskins slid into the bag and disrupted a feasible Mets double-play. Reliever Jacob Rhame and Hoskins have not recollected a solid history between each other. One, two wild pitches to the face of Hoskins. And two, a sweet home-run shot by an individual looking to be reintroduced and makeup time.
