Dedniel Núñez shows what Mets missed in playoffs during spring debut
Port St. Lucy – When I last saw last season, Dedoniel Nuñez was an important part of the Mets bullpen. On Monday, the right-hander returned to game action for the first time since August, firing a scoreless inning in a 2-0 exhibit loss to the Rays at Clover Park. Nunez was suppressed during the Grapefruitreug […]
Donovan Walton eyeing Mets role that would be long time coming
JUPITER, Fla. — Jeff McNeill's oblique injuries open another location on the first day, with most attention focusing on popular names like Brett Batty and Louis Sangel Acknya.

Mets’ Bohan Adderley leaning on Jazz Chisholm Jr. for advice
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Bohan Adderly just signed a team last year and isn't the outlook for the most prominent Mets.

Originally from Nassau, he was close to Jazz Chisholm Jr. and frequently contacted Yankees infielders, where Chisholm grew up […]
Mets’ Ronny Mauricio won’t play in spring training games as slow return from ACL injury continues
Port St. Lucy – Ronnie Mauricio's spring does not include opportunities to win a batting at Grapefruitreug.

Port St. Lucy – Joey Gallo hit 208 home runs in his 10-year career as a major league batsman. On Sunday he announced that he was giving up bats as production fell sharply over the past three years and becoming a pitcher. Anthony Gose didn't have a Gallo resume, but didn't flare up in the […]
Mets’ A.J. Minter finding new way to get batters out
Port St. Lucy – If AJ Minter can take away something positive from the left hip problem that ultimately led to surgery last summer, he simply learned how to pitch beyond the overwhelming batsman.

Mets’ Clay Holmes throws 77 pitches as he nears Opening Day start
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — In his first spring start since being selected as the Mets' opening day starter, Clay Holmes looked for a part in the 4¹/₃ innings on Saturday in a 4-1 defeat at Cactus Park in Palm Beach. For the first time in his new role, the right-hander said he managed to […]
Luisangel Acuña has ‘confidence’ he can make next step as he battles for Mets’ roster spot
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The cameo L'Sangelacna, made with the Mets last September, did not affect the views of the team's infielders. It also made a difference to Acuña. As he fought to win one of the final spots on the roster of the year's first day, Acuña said he's seen himself in a […]

PORT STA LUCY — Kodai Senga worked on his mechanic on Friday night and tried to prepare himself to make his first turn in the Mets rotation after Clay Holmes was nominated as the first day starter earlier in the day.

Starling Marte could see his Mets role grow if Brandon Nimmo misses time

Three years ago, the role was from Sterling Marte, who signed a four-year, $78 million free agent contract and played out early in the contract before the injured person hit him. Now, after he appears to have left Queens […]
