But now they have reached a point where the bad play precipitates the injuries.  More than a few errors,...20044Sun, 03 May 2026 20:44:43 +0000https://grandcentralmets.com/news-rumors/new-york-mets/new-york-mets-pitchers-of-the-month-april-2026-r20041/The New York Mets were expected to be a World Series contender before the start of the season. That can still be the case eventually, but saying that they look the part would be a lie of laughable proportions. They are, heading into May, last in the NL East with a 10-21 record. That’s the w...20041Sat, 02 May 2026 14:08:02 +0000https://grandcentralmets.com/news-rumors/new-york-mets/mets-roster-central-eric-wagaman-%E2%80%94-hot-potato-r20042/How embarrassing is it when the commentary about a transactions runs longer than the tenure that the transaction effected?  Because that is the awkward situation that Mets Roster Central is in right now.

They were universally seen as the best pitching prospects in the organization, and they all shared the spotlight in the stretch run even though the team couldn’t make it to Octo...20037Fri, 01 May 2026 10:51:01 +0000https://grandcentralmets.com/news-rumors/new-york-mets/francisco-alvarez-has-crashed-back-down-to-earth-after-hot-start-r20034/Back on April 15, we took a look at the Mets’ catching tandem and praised Francisco Alvarez for his offensive prowess. Back then, his 179 wRC+ ranked eighth in baseball among players with a minimum of 50 plate appearances. He was on top of the world, leading his team in home runs and showing why...20034Thu, 30 Apr 2026 10:50:02 +0000https://grandcentralmets.com/news-rumors/new-york-mets/david-peterson-is-a-mets-mystery-box-r20030/The New York Mets are turning back to David Peterson in their starting rotation, and just like their season, success hinges on razor-thin margins. When everything is clicking for Peterson, he throws enough strikes to limit walks, get ahead in the count, and generate ground balls to keep the game...20030Wed, 29 Apr 2026 10:54:02 +0000https://grandcentralmets.com/news-rumors/new-york-mets/mets-roster-central-generation-mst3k-assembling-r20031/While we just saw Christian Scott last week, an unfortunate Injured List assignment should provide a little bit more of an open-ended opportunity for him to show his mettle and quality.  If nothing else happens this season, establishing Scott and Jonah Tong alongside Nolan McLean in the Mets rot...20031Tue, 28 Apr 2026 23:52:00 +0000https://grandcentralmets.com/news-rumors/new-york-mets/clay-holmes-is-beating-his-underlying-numbers-though-the-mets-should-be-wary-of-regression-r20020/Even though it’s very early in the year and Clay Holmes has only made five starts, if you leave out the one game he pitched in 2020, he’s currently sporting his lowest ERA of his career. You’d think that a guy with a 2.10 ERA and 1.03 WHIP would be dominant, but has Holmes really been as good as...20020Tue, 28 Apr 2026 10:57:01 +0000https://grandcentralmets.com/news-rumors/new-york-mets/mets-week-in-review-two-wins-break-the-losing-streak-but-rockies-sweep-ends-momentum-r20025/New York Mets Weekly Snapshot Record Last Week: 2-4 Runs Scored Last Week: 20 Runs Surrendered Last Week: 28 Standings: 5th in NL East 10.5 GB of 1st Place Transactions: 4/16 New York Mets sent LHP A.J.

Coming over as one of the star offseason signings of the team, he has slumped to a 61 wRC+ in 28 games and 123 plate appearances. That performance is...20022Mon, 27 Apr 2026 10:54:02 +0000https://grandcentralmets.com/news-rumors/new-york-mets/mets-roster-central-love-is-a-burning-thing-r20024/One reliever signed away. Another one sent on a rehab assignment. A third one returns to the MLB roster that he never should have banished from.
