The New York Mets have used him in 13 games since his debut on August 4; on only one occasion h...20396Tue, 08 Sep 2026 10:52:02 +0000https://grandcentralmets.com/news-rumors/new-york-mets/marcus-semiens-total-offensive-collapse-is-owed-to-a-frustratingly-simple-explanation-r20390/There's no way around it: The New York Mets’ bet on Marcus Semien has been a failure. Semien, a three-time All-Star, two-time Gold Glove winner, two-time Silver Slugger and third-place finisher in AL MVP voting in 2019, 2021 and 2023, arrived with high expectations, but in his age-35 season, he...20390Sat, 05 Sep 2026 12:05:02 +0000https://grandcentralmets.com/news-rumors/new-york-mets/bo-bichettes-big-month-didnt-help-the-mets-r20389/Fresh off writing the New York Mets’ hitters of the month piece for August, an odd detail caught my eye: Bo Bichette had an excellent 135 wRC+ in August, but managed to produce a negative win probability added (WPA). This isn’t a cause for alarm, but it is interesting. Those stats (wRC+ and WPA)...20389Fri, 04 Sep 2026 10:57:02 +0000https://grandcentralmets.com/news-rumors/new-york-mets/luis-robert-jrs-mets-tenure-is-paradigmatic-of-entire-2026-team-r20384/The New York Mets and Luis Robert Jr. were a partnership rumored for a year before they actually got together. The then-Chicago White Sox star center fielder was in all the trade speculation from the moment the calendar first said 2025. And it made perfect sense -- the Mets couldn't get anything...20384Thu, 03 Sep 2026 10:51:02 +0000https://grandcentralmets.com/news-rumors/new-york-mets/new-york-mets-hitters-of-the-month-august-2026-carson-benge-goes-nuclear-r20386/August marked the New York Mets' best month since their ultimately futile May. A 15-12 record was never going to get them back in the playoff mix, but it does portend a far brighter 2027. And when you consider that Juan Soto only graced the batters’ box nine times in August, the Mets’ performanc...20386Wed, 02 Sep 2026 10:55:02 +0000https://grandcentralmets.com/news-rumors/new-york-mets/mets-week-in-review-a-tough-homestand-cools-the-mets-r20382/New York Mets Weekly Snapshot Record Last Week: 2-4 Runs Scored Last Week: 16 Runs Surrendered Last Week: 29 Standings 5th in NL East (61-76) 21.0 GB of 1st Place, 11.5 GB of a Wild Card Transactions August 25: Sent 1B Mark Vientos to Triple-A Syrac...20382Tue, 01 Sep 2026 16:04:02 +0000https://grandcentralmets.com/news-rumors/new-york-mets/mets-should-see-how-christopher-morel-responds-to-platoon-role-in-september-r20378/Over the winter heading into the 2026 season, the Miami Malins inked Christopher Morel to a one-year major league deal to be their starting first baseman. He made the initial 26-man roster but suffered a left oblique strain during batting practice on Opening Day causing him to be scratched from...20378Mon, 31 Aug 2026 10:55:01 +0000https://grandcentralmets.com/news-rumors/new-york-mets/zac-thornton-is-surviving-but-his-margin-for-error-is-getting-smaller-r20374/Since Zac Thornton came back from the injured list, he has pitched to a 3-3 record with a 2.42 ERA in 10 starts with the New York Mets. He has achieved part of that dominance with a strikeout rate of 6.4 K/9, the second-lowest among the 14 starting pitchers who have accumulated at least 50 innin...20374Sun, 30 Aug 2026 13:05:02 +0000https://grandcentralmets.com/news-rumors/new-york-mets/why-luis-robert-jr-might-survive-more-than-just-the-trade-deadline-with-mets-r20376/The question was put to David Stearns at his post-trade deadline press conference: Why wasn’t Luis Robert Jr. included in the New York Mets’ summer sell-off? The team’s president of baseball operations replied, “I think with Luis, it’s the possibility of what he can do for us in the second...20376Fri, 28 Aug 2026 19:35:01 +0000https://grandcentralmets.com/news-rumors/new-york-mets/kodai-senga-still-hasnt-usurped-devin-williams-as-mets-future-closer-r20371/Despite surrendering a walk-off home run to Tristan Peters, Kodai Senga’s transition to a single-inning reliever has been far more fruitful than this season’s work out of the rotation. Since making the switch on August 4, Senga has featured eight times, thrown 7.1 innings, and posted a 2.45 ERA....20371Thu, 27 Aug 2026 10:59:00 +0000https://grandcentralmets.com/news-rumors/new-york-mets/francisco-lindors-power-is-back-offering-mets-yet-another-promising-sign-for-the-future-r20366/The New York Mets own a winning record in August and are producing their best OPS (.775) in any month of this season. They have done it without a single plate appearance from Juan Soto, who last played on July 24 before going on the injured list. The Mets have risen from a disappointing first ha...20366Tue, 25 Aug 2026 10:50:02 +0000
