Mets vs. Dodgers prediction: Fade James Paxton
Commercial content. 21+. Action Network is the official betting partner of the New York Post, which edited this content. James Paxton is the most overrated pitcher in baseball. His prolific four-seam fastball lost two notches of velocity, which prevented him from getting strikeouts (a career-low 8% strikeout rate), forcing him to work on the edges […]
Mets may soon have to make ‘tough’ Brett Baty-Mark Vientos decision
The Mets may be reaching a tipping point at third base. For roughly two weeks, they have used Mark Vientos and Brett Batty in a platoon that has given the club more attacking power but at the expense of defensive flexibility. The Mets didn’t have a true backup center fielder, so Francisco Lindor and Jeff […]
NYC lawmaker blocks Steve Cohen’s $8B casino project by Mets’ Citi Field
Steve Cohen’s Mets are a loser, and for now, at least, the Queens casino bid appears to be a loser too. State Sen. Jessica Ramos, who represents the Flushing-Corona district where Cohen plans to build his $8 billion casino and entertainment complex, Metropolitan Park, has said she will not introduce legislation that would allow the […]
Mets mulling Jett Williams wrist surgery for stubborn injury
The Mets’ top prospect has not played in a game in more than five weeks and has no timetable for his return.

Kodai Senga appears to hint at Mets rehab disagreement
Kodai Senga has yet to pitch an inning for the Mets this season, but it’s unclear when that will change as the right-hander is dealing with nerve inflammation that recently led to him receiving a cortisone shot. The numerous issues and setbacks Senga has encountered since being suspended with a shoulder injury during spring training […]
Adrian Houser gives Mets a shot with four innings of sharp relief
Adrian Hauser may have saved the career of a Mets player who was on the brink of being fired. The right-hander’s presence was a big factor in the Mets’ come-from-behind victory Sunday, a day after the embattled pitcher was informed he would be returning to the bullpen to make room in the rotation for David […]
Harrison Bader delivers clutch hit, robs home run in Mets win
Yankees fans remember defensively talented outfielder Harrison Bader’s red-hot October 2022 performance when he struggled at the plate and smashed five home runs in nine postseason games. Bader has proven to be a go-to guy for Mets fans looking ahead several months into the baseball calendar. Mets outfielder Harrison Bader hit a double in the […]
Omar Narvaez’s walk-off hit caps Mets’ ninth-inning rally in win
A little over an hour before first pitch Sunday, Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing” blared through the Mets clubhouse. This was either intended as inspiration for the rundown club, or a nod to the final scene of “The Sopranos,” where the song is heard before the screen goes black. The Mets avoided another setback to the […]
