Mets’ Brandon Nimmo eyes on long view in buildup after plantar fasciitis
Port St. Lucy – Brandon Nemo takes a slow, flavourful, lace approach to spring training accumulation. The Mets outfielder has been running at 91% while continuing his rehabilitation after he refrains from running for the majority of the offseason, giving most of his left foot the opportunity to heal from plantar fasciitis. He said. This […]
Nick Madrigal comfortable jumping into unchartered waters with Mets
Port St. Lucy – Nick Madrigal's major league resume does not include activities at shortstops, but I'm sure he can handle the position. The 27-year-old infielder – a former round draft pick by the White Sox – is expected to see action at short stops in the Mets exhibition season as the team evaluates Francis […]
Tylor Megill in fight for Mets opening day roster spot — again
Port St. Lucy – Tyler Megill looks much thinner than last season, but claims he's only lost a few pounds. “That's what everyone is saying. I look thinner, but I'm not losing weight,” Megill said. “Maybe like five pounds. That's about it. I think I just leaned in.” If there is a spring ritual at […]
Clay Holmes has all the ingredients to make Mets look like geniuses
Port St. Lucy – Clay Holmes rotation experiments are not experimental at all. That's the Cold Mets calculation, and the other one I'm betting works. This is calculated by his mathematics-driven minions, the new Mets starter Holmes himself, and the Mets' Honcho David Stearns. Stearns's team of analytical heroes, or frankly, he's not a Harvard […]
Jose Butto’s success last season made bullpen call easy for Mets
Port St. Lucy – A potentially complete rotation that includes reinforcements, Jose Boto's success in the bullpen last season was by facilitating the decision of Mets officials. Buttó works as a savior in spring training. “He hopes that his team will contribute to winning the game and do anything,” coach Carlos Mendoza said Thursday after […]
Brandon Sproat will test Mets’ organizational goals
Port St. Lucy – The talk of the entire Mets organization last summer revolved around the domination of Brandon Sprout. However, after arriving in August, during that last stop, Sprout encountered his first adversity. The right-hander, who signed the second pick from the University of Florida in the 2023 draft, was hit hard. Seven home […]
Pete Alonso’s renewed Mets motivation is more than contract drama
Port St. Lucy – The Mets can look forward to “motivated” Pete Alonso this season. David Stearns, president of the team's baseball business, used a base-hand explanation of slugging on Wednesday after a two-year contract worth $54 million for his return to the Mets became official. The deal includes opt-outs from this season onwards. There […]
David Stearns all but ruling out Mets return for Jose Iglesias
Port St. Lucy – Omgoodbye. According to the president of baseball business David Stearns, the desire to evaluate young players while maintaining roster flexibility led to the Mets leaving Jose Iglesias this offseason. At the first press conference in spring training, Stearns indicated Wednesday that it is unlikely that free agent Iglesias will return. Last […]
Mets bring back injured Drew Smith — who might miss 2025 season
Port St. Lucy – The Mets are reuniting with Flamethrowers from the past, looking towards next season. Drew Smith, who is expected to miss most (if not all) of this season, rehabilitating from Tommy John's surgery, has reached an agreement with the team on a one-year contract that includes 2026 club options. Industry sources confirmed […]
Mets can’t rely on just star power to reach World Series goal
At this point last year, the veteran middle infielder associated with saving the Mets' season – first from an atmosphere perspective, then from a production perspective – was not a minor league contract, but at Port St. Lucie. We arrived for spring training. A year gap in his MLB resume and a long baseball career. […]
