On Mat 13, Carson Benge started passing it. The ball that came off his bat in the 10th inning barely cleared the infield, a low, sharp line drive that split the middle of the diamond before the Detroit Tigers could react. From second base, A.J. E...20075Mon, 18 May 2026 10:59:01 +0000https://grandcentralmets.com/news-rumors/new-york-mets/austin-slater-isnt-living-up-to-his-reputation-with-the-mets-r20078/On April 26, after being designated for assignment by the Marlins, Austin Slater signed with the New York Mets. Given the team's struggles at the time of his signing, it made all the sense in the world to bring in a veteran like Slater. For most of his 10 year career, his number one priority has...20078Sat, 16 May 2026 12:01:02 +0000https://grandcentralmets.com/news-rumors/new-york-mets/subway-series-preview-five-storylines-that-could-change-new-york-baseballs-direction-r20081/By mid-May, New York is still trying to figure out what kind of teams the Yankees and Mets actually are. The Yankees continue winning just enough games to remain firmly inside the American League conversation, but they arrive at the Subway Series carrying bullpen concerns and an offense tha...20081Fri, 15 May 2026 19:19:02 +0000https://grandcentralmets.com/news-rumors/new-york-mets/mets-bright-spots-austin-warren-has-arrived-r20077/Amidst the New York Mets' scuffling to start the season, the bullpen has actually performed exceptionally well. They currently rank ninth in MLB in ERA (3.64) and third in strikeouts (177). The only problem is that the Mets' relievers have been overused. They’ve pitched 165.2 innings, which is t...20077Fri, 15 May 2026 10:53:02 +0000https://grandcentralmets.com/news-rumors/new-york-mets/mets-roster-central-getting-the-band-back-together-r20080/There's nothing wrong with second thoughts.  Just because you let a guy walk doesn't mean you can't reassess him.  Maybe your needs change, maybe your assessment of the guy changes, maybe the guy just has gotten better.  You don't want to dig in on your old evaluations. Anyhow, this is what...20080Fri, 15 May 2026 02:41:41 +0000https://grandcentralmets.com/news-rumors/new-york-mets/mets-roster-central-good-news-comes-in-ones-r20074/  It was like A.J. Ewing reminded the Mets how to play last night — working counts, laying off sliders out of the strikezone, not overswinging, an in the end, letting the Tigers beat themselves.  But all the rookie centerfielders in the world can't stop flesh from tearing, and that's what h...20074Wed, 13 May 2026 22:32:00 +0000https://grandcentralmets.com/news-rumors/new-york-mets/freddy-peralta-is-finally-resembling-the-ace-the-mets-were-promised-r20072/There are starts where a pitcher simply gets lucky. Others where hard contact goes directly into gloves. And then there are the starts where something genuinely changes — where the pitching itself starts to look different even before you check the box score. Such was the case when Freddy Pe...20072Wed, 13 May 2026 22:08:02 +0000https://grandcentralmets.com/news-rumors/new-york-mets/mets-roster-central-a-viewing-of-ewing-r20069/It is the habit of teams calling up a top prospect to try to take the heat off the rookie by declaring he is "NOT HERE TO BE A SAVIOR." Expect a lot of that tonight — from the announcer, manager, coaches, fellow players, maybe the owner ... maybe even from brand-new Met A.J. Ewing himself....20069Tue, 12 May 2026 22:12:00 +0000https://grandcentralmets.com/news-rumors/new-york-mets/mj-melendezs-evolution-at-the-plate-leaves-mets-with-another-confounding-paradox-r20066/The New York Mets entered the week of May 11 as the worst team in the league with a 15-25 record and a .375 winning percentage.

While it hasn’t even been 24 months since Grimace’s first pitch turned the Mets into a juggernaut, it might as well have been the pivotal moment in the Revolutionary War.
